I made these for a neighborhood get together and they were gone in 60 seconds! Not really, but almost. I used Victoria's Louisiana seasoning (www.igourmet.com) in them and sprinkled them with celery salt just before sprinkling the paprika. These were delish!

These are great. The taste can't be beat. Very easy. May try using it as a base for deviled egg sandwiches, adding a little chopped celery and using the whites too. Have made this a lot in the last month. Hubbie really likes them.

House Rule: There shall be NO Miracle Whip in my house. The Miraculous thing about Miracle Whip is that anyone buys it. For vile taste, it is unsurpassed.<br/>I made Deviled Eggs last night, just winging it. Did the egg thing and took the yolks to a bowl. Mashed them. Added Hellman's Mayonaisse, just a bit. Added celery salt, McCormick's Salt-Free Spices, Herbs de Provence, a bit of Paprika and some dark Chili Powder. Also Cayenne to taste and a good helping of Turmeric powder. Mixed thoroughly. Added some more mayonaisse to moisten. Mixed. Took a spoon and scooped the yolk mix into the whites' cavities. Patted down with finger to remove spaces. This is necessary to get the maximum amount of this mix back into the whites. The reason is that it is so delicious that you don't want to waste any space on air. Sprinkled a bit of dark chili powder (my paprika was so old it was black and tasteless) on top and served. Also, with the Turmeric added, these were also healthy and allegedly will prevent cancer. Best of all possible worlds!

I never knew the amounts but this includes all the ingredients my mother used in her devilled eggs. The only change I made was using Hellman's - but thats just my preference. Thanx Linda!!

When I first saw this recipe I was a bit turned off because of the relish, and my family had never had Deviled Eggs made that way. I decided to give it a try though, as it was my first time making Deviled Eggs. I upped the recipe for 32 eggs, because I was making them for a family get together. I was so pleased to see that everyone had finished all of my Deviled Eggs and my Aunt's were not even a fourth gone! They are really sweet and have a great zing to them, that's not too strong. I myself added a bit more mustard, because I couldn't taste it enough for my preference. I will definatly be making these again. Thanks so much for the recipe!
