But this isn’t BBQ!!
I know, I know, but you need to accept that sometimes the recipes I share won’t be BBQ. I’m sorry. But, I thought this was a timely recipe to share, charcoal or not.
With 7 grandkids in our family, we have lots of hard-boiled eggs leftover from our Easter egg hunts. This year, at our family Easter gathering we wanted to try to use up some of them. We searched for a recipe that sounded interesting and landed on one from Pinch My Salt. We were thrilled with the results. 
I think the key to the whole deal is bacon. You see, I truly believe that bacon makes everything better. So, when we found this recipe that includes chopped bacon in the mixture as well as on the top, I had a gut feeling it would be the best any of us ever had.
I was right. Bacon never disappoints. Every single person in the family agreed these were the best deviled eggs any of us ever had. If you are looking for a way to get rid of those hard-boiled eggs in a very tasty way, we highly suggest this recipe!
