Equipment
- Measuring Cups
- Knife
- Baking dish 9x9 inch
Ingredients
- 2 cans whole water chestnuts drained
- 1 pound bacon
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup dry mustard
Instructions
- Preheat over to 325 ℉.
- Cut bacon in half. Mix brown sugar and dry mustard in a small bowl.
- Take one water chestnut at a time and wrap the bacon around it, securing with a toothpick.
- Drop the wrapped water chestnut into the bowl (you can do several as a time, how ever many will fit with room to move the dry mixture) and use a spoon to coat each piece. Make sure you get all the sides and the ends as well.
- Transfer the water chestnuts to a baking sheet or dish that is lined with either tin foil or a silicone mat.
- Once you get through all of them, take each water chestnut and run them through the dredging process a second time. Start on one end and work your way over to make sure you hit them all. (Faster, easier way: wrap them all, throw them on the sheet or in the dish, and throw all the topping across the water chestnuts).
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Cook until the bacon is starting to render but before they are overdone.
Notes
Turkey bacon will cook faster and be a little dry as there is less fat.
If you want them to be sweeter, use 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup dry mustard.
