I first made these deviled eggs for Easter when I took them to a barbecue at my Aunt and Uncle’s house out on the ranch. We ate good food, hid eggs for the kids, and were entertained all afternoon by my baby cousin Belle jumping on the mini trampoline. She’s not even two years old, but has already learned some trampoline tricks.

The deviled eggs were a hit and disappeared even faster than deviled eggs normally disappear at a barbecue.  Several people requested the recipe and after I continued to hear about the eggs for a few weeks, I decided I’d better get to work posting this bacon deviled eggs recipe! 

Since I didn’t write down the ingredients when I first made them, I was forced to make them again this week. I know, poor me, forced to eat chipotle bacon deviled eggs again.

It’s a rough life being a food blogger sometimes.

The first time I made these eggs, I used canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, but this time I decided to try using powdered chipotle chile pepper and it worked great!

This recipe is a variation of my delicious basic deviled eggs. The main changes are that I added the chipotle, some garlic powder, and of course the bacon. 

Although I’ve always said that I don’t like to add extra “stuff” to my deviled eggs, I have to agree with my family that these are delicious– especially with extra smoked paprika sprinkled on top!

I have been chosen by McCormick to participate in the McCormick Real Gourmets program. I have been paid by them and I received a big box full of McCormick Gourmet spices. I have been using McCormick Gourmet for years, and am thrilled for the opportunity to explore more of their spices and blends. I used McCormick Gourmet Chipotle Chile Pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to create this deviled egg recipe.

Ingredients

• 12 eggs, hard-cooked
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt, to taste (optional)
• 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
• smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

1. Cut eggs in half.
2. Arrange egg whites cut side up on a serving plate and put the yolks in a small mixing bowl.
3. Mash yolks with a fork then stir in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, chipotle chile, and garlic powder. Mash and stir all ingredients together well.
4. Stir in chopped bacon, reserving some pieces to garnish the top of the eggs if desired. Taste and add salt if necessary. (I found that these were salty enough with the bacon added, but it depends on your taste.)
5. Spoon some of the filling into each egg white half, dividing the mixture as evenly as possible between the eggs. Sprinkle eggs with smoked paprika and garnish with bacon pieces.
6. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

If you don't have powdered chipotle chile pepper, you can use canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce. Puree or finely chop a canned chile and starting with a small amount, add to the egg mixture to taste.
