Superbowl Party: Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts

If there was one stand-out dish every year at our Superbowl party, it would be this recipe that I got from my cousin Carey.

I've been making this one and my version of her layered taco dip with refried beans for yeeeears.

If you make either of these appetizer recipes, I assure you they'll disappear really quickly!

Course: Appetizer

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  

• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 3 8-ounce cans whole water chestnuts, drained
• 1 16-ounce package bacon

Method

 

1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce and sugar. Add drained water chestnuts and stir to combine. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours. Meanwhile, soak wooden toothpicks in cold water (make sure the toothpicks soak for at least 15-30 minutes before baking).
2. Preheat oven to 300°F with the oven rack in the top third of the oven.
3. Slice the bacon strips into thirds crosswise. Wrap each water chestnuts in ⅓ strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with remaining water chestnuts.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then switch the oven to broil for 5 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
