I love bacon wrapped water chestnuts. They taste great and you can serve them with so many different sauces. They seem to go with everything, even honey. I also love them in a mustard sauce.

I absolutely love this recipe and it is so easy to make. However, I cut the bacon into thirds and didn't need toothpicks to secure them. I cooked for 30 minutes without the sauce and drained as much grease as I could then used a spoon the pour the sauce onto each one then cooked for another 20-30 minutes. I doubled the recipe for a party and we a good bit of sauce left over so I had to make more later that week. Quick, easy and delicious!!!!!

My family really loved this recipe, out of all the appetizers we made for a party this was the best. I made a few changes to the basice recipe though. I precooked the bacon in the microwave, and heated up the ketchup and sugar in a pot ahead of time to make the sauce, poured it over the bacon wrapped water chestnuts on a baking sheet where i baked them in the oven for 5 minutes. Also i used half regular ketchup, half kickers for some extra spice.

I have been making these for a few years now. But instead of the ketchup sauce I marinate them in soy sauce for a few hours and then bake. Makes it even easier and plenty tasty!

These tasty morsels are always so popular when I bring them to a party. I cut the bacon in thirds, wrap each whole water chestnut with the bacon (securing each with a toothpick), then dollop each one with Masterpiece BBQ sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and just wait for the compliments! Everyone is so amazed at how easy they are to make when I tell them the recipe.

I did what one reviewer suggested and omited the ketchup. I only sprinkled brown sugar on top. They were delicious - my husband couldn't get enough of them! I did have a little problem with getting the bacon browned so I put the broiler on for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time.

Awesome!! I love these, as does everyone who has tasted them! I sometimes add some ground red pepper or some hot pepper flakes/seeds to spice it up a little. It's very very yummy!

This is the how I make mine also but I wrap the bacon around the water chestnuts and bake them until the bacon is done. Usually 350 for 10 minutes. Then I put them in my crock-pot and pour the mixture on top. They are easy to serve at a party this way.

Recipe was great. We had these at our wedding and not one was left. Although, i suggest cooking the bacon in the microwave a few minutes before wrapping, it was easier to wrap and it makes the bacon a little crispier. Just WAIT till they cool a little.
