Ingredients & Tools You'll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make these BBQ Bacon Deviled Eggs. First, grab some hard-boiled eggs. You’ll want to cook and peel them before we get started.
The yolks will be combined with mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, jalapeño mustard, and a few spices to create a creamy filling that’s packed with flavor.
Speaking of spices, don’t forget the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. They’re essential for bringing everything together. And, of course, we’ll load up on Famous Dave’s pickles for that extra crunch and tanginess, plus BBQ sauce for that smoky goodness.
Lastly, you’ll need some cooked and chopped bacon – a must-have for that crispy topping. And a sprinkle of paprika at the end gives these deviled eggs a pop of color and a bit of extra flavor. Get ready to impress!
How To Make It
Making these BBQ Bacon Deviled Eggs is as easy as pie (or should I say, easy as eggs?). We’ll start with some prep work, then dive into the cooking portion. Just follow along, and you’ll be a deviled egg pro in no time!
Preparation
First things first, you’ll need to hard-boil your eggs. I usually go for about 10-12 minutes of boiling, then shock them in cold water to stop the cooking. Once they’re cool, peel them and slice them in half lengthwise.
Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Now it’s time to mash those yolks! Add in your mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, jalapeño mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. I like to use a fork to really blend everything together until it’s nice and creamy.
The goal is to have a smooth filling that’s ready to be piped into the egg whites. So, grab your piping bag (or a plastic bag with a corner cut off) and get ready for the fun part!
Cooking
Now, here’s where the magic happens. Once you have that delicious yolk filling ready, pipe it into the egg whites. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect – rustic is the name of the game here!
After you’ve filled all the eggs, it’s time to load ‘em up with the chopped bacon. Sprinkle a little paprika on top for good measure, and you’re done!
These deviled eggs don’t need any cooking once they’re filled, but I like to let them chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. When you’re ready to serve, just pull them out, and watch them vanish in seconds!
Serving & Variations
When it comes to serving these BBQ Bacon Deviled Eggs, I like to arrange them on a platter with some fresh herbs or extra pickles for garnish. You can pair them with a crisp salad or even serve them alongside some grilled meats for the ultimate feast.
Feeling adventurous? Try swapping out the Famous Dave’s pickles for another type you love, or add some diced jalapeños for an extra kick. You can also play around with different BBQ sauces to find your favorite flavor combination.
And if you happen to have leftovers (which is rare), you can store them in the fridge – but honestly, I wouldn’t count on any making it past the first day!
Wrapping Up
So there you have it – BBQ Bacon Deviled Eggs that are as easy to make as they are delicious. Perfect for any occasion, these little bites will have everyone asking for your secret. Trust me, you’ll want to add this recipe to your go-to list!
