How to Make Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts With Ketchup Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. **Make the Ketchup Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. Set the glaze aside.
  4. Cut bacon slices into thirds.
  5. Wrap a piece of bacon around each water chestnut and secure with a toothpick.
  6. Arrange bacon-wrapped water chestnuts in two greased 9x13 inch casserole dishes.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon begins to crisp.
  8. Carefully remove the casserole dishes from the oven and drain off excess grease.
  9. Pour the ketchup glaze evenly over the water chestnuts.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
