1 lb. bacon (cut in half)
1 can (16 oz.) water chestnuts (whole & peeled)
3/4 c. ketchup
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar

Tips:

  • Prepare the bacon correctly: If using raw bacon, cook it until crispy. If using pre-cooked bacon, heat it until warmed through.
  • Choose the right water chestnuts: Use whole water chestnuts, not sliced or diced. This will help them hold their shape when wrapped in bacon.
  • Slice the water chestnuts thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Try different cheeses, vegetables, and sauces. Some popular options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and teriyaki sauce.
  • Cook the wraps until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the bacon is crispy and the water chestnuts are cooked through.
