These deviled eggs are like a loaded baked potato – dangerously good!!

Ingredients: 8 hard boiled eggs (peeled), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon pickle juice, 1 teaspoon mustard, 4 tablespoons smoked bacon bits, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, salt to taste, 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives, paprika for garnish.

Directions: cut all boiled and peeled eggs in half and carefully take out the yolk (yellow part) and place in a separate bowl. Put white egg halves on serving dish. Mash all of the yolks with a fork. To the yolks add in 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sourcreeam, 1 tablespoon pickle juice, 1 teaspoon mustard, and stir to combine, mashing out any lumps of yolks as you go. Once smooth add in 3 tablespoons smoke bacon bits, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir until well combined, taste mixture and then add salt if needed (this depends on how salty your pickle juice was, you may not need to add any salt at all). At this time either pipe or spoon the mixture into the empty white egg shells. Then garnish with 1 tablespoon bacon bits, 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives, and sprinkle lightly with paprika. Can be made ahead before serving, makes 16.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
