Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs

What you need:

    • 12 eggs
    • 4 Tbsp. mayonnaise
    • 6 Tbsp. cream cheese, softened
    • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese
    • 1/3 cup pickled jalapenos, diced
    • 1 package real bacon bits
    • Hot sauce (optional)

Directions:

    1. In a saucepan, cover your dozen eggs with an inch or two of water. Bring to a boil over medium to medium high heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover your pan. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
    2. Remove shells from eggs - I do this under cold water because it's a little easier.
    3. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks into a separate bowl.
    4. Mash the yolks a little. Then mix in mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, jalapenos, and half the package of bacon bits. For more heat, add some drops of hot sauce.
    5. Spoon mixture into halved eggs and top with additional bacon bits for garnish.
    6. Makes 24 deviled eggs.
