I’m alive! I’ve still been cooking, just sticking to some old familiar recipes that don’t take too long to get on the table to fend off the ravenous horde. Not to worry, I’ve got some really interesting and fun ones. But first! It’s time for football playoffs and that means Football Food!
Around our house, Football Food is simply the name for one dish. Bacon wrapped water chestnuts. It sounds weird. It’s delicious. What better way to pack away roughly half a package of bacon and somehow not feel guilty?
It’s also amazingly easy to pull off. Check out this ingredient list.
- Bacon.
- Water chestnuts (whole)
That’s it.
Slice a pack of bacon down the middle. Take a now shorter length of bacon, wrap it around a water chestnut, skewer with a toothpick and stick it on a baking sheet. Once you run out of bacon (or water chestnuts) throw the pan in the oven with it set to broil until the bacon starts to look nice and crispy. When they’re ready, put them on a plate covered in paper towel to soak up some of the fat, and you’re done. Enjoy. Try not to eat them all. Unless your team is losing. Or your team is winning and you’re celebrating. It’s bacon. There is no wrong way to do this people.
Go Stamps!
