This recipe is one my mom taught me years ago. Not your standard deviled eggs but they are a huge hit with the family. You taste more than eggs with these.

Mama's Deviled Eggs dusted with paprika.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Mama's deviled eggs are a delicious old-fashioned recipe. The creamy filling has a nice balance of flavor. Finely chopped bacon adds smokiness, while the minced onion adds a little bite. To us, the bacon made these deviled eggs stand out. Great for any occasion, serve a platter of these flavorful deviled eggs and watch them disappear.

How To Make mama's deviled eggs

Test Kitchen Tips

We used a mini food processor to make sure the bacon and onions were finely chopped. Before serving, we dusted the deviled eggs with extra paprika.

Step 1

Boil eggs, cool, and peel. Split eggs lengthwise and put egg yolks in a large separate bowl. Place egg whites on a serving dish and set aside.

Step 2

Mash egg yolks with a fork in a large bowl.
Step 3

Mince onions so they are very small pieces. Fry bacon so it is extra crispy, drain off excess grease, and set aside to cool. Crush bacon.
Step 4

Add onions and bacon to the egg yolks and stir well.
Step 5

Add wet and dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
Step 6

Mix well. Taste to see if enough salt - easier to add some than to take away.
Step 7

Two ways to stuff the egg whites: straight from the bowl with a spoon. Or transfer the egg mixture to a Ziploc bag, cut off the tip, and pipe it into the egg whites.
Step 8

Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill before serving.
