Quick and easy! Bacon-chestnut rolls covered in a mayonnaise and hot pepper sauce.*****

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) can Water chestnuts, halved

1/2 pound Sliced bacon, cut in half

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

1/2 cup Packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup Tomato-based chili sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Wrap each water chestnut with a piece of bacon. Place the rolls seamside

down in a baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and

cooked through. Drain off the grease. In a small bowl, stir together the

mayonnaise, brown sugar and chili sauce; pour over the bacon-chestnut

rolls. Return to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes

Holy cow! I, too, thought this was a strange combination of ingredients. After one taste, though, I can see why this one has such great reviews! I took these to an appetizer party last night and they were gone almost instantly. I followed what others did and used a whole water chestnut (2 cans) to 1/2 a slice of bacon (1 lb). I cooked for 45 minutes to get them crispy and turned them midway to allow even browning. I poked toothpicks after cooking so everyone would have an easy time dipping into the sauce and am glad I did. This one is a keeper! –BBHOLT
