Mom's Classic Southern Deviled Eggs will take you back to your childhood. This simple, no-frills recipe is so simple that even the novice cook can make them. The creamy filling is made with ingredients you probably already have on hand like mustard and Miracle Whip. You can fill the egg whites by spooning the filling in, or you can pipe the filling into the egg whites for a fancier presentation. No one will be able to resist one or two of these classic deviled eggs. Don't forget to sprinkle paprika on top for that traditional look!

My family loves these deviled eggs. I've added a crab meat or shrimp and they are always a hit.

This is one that we always have to have for any family gathering! The Mom's Classic Southern Deviled Eggs are not just for the Southerns. We in the North have used this recipe for centuries. I changed it up a bit by adding finely chopped onion to my yolk mixture. So good that I have to make more then what is normal and there is never any left. Thank you for sharing this free recipe.

YAS! Any time I'm at a family get together, I always have to stop myself from eating all of the deviled eggs. They just taste so good!!!!
