6 slices bacon can substitute with about 1/4-1/3 cup of store-bought bacon bits (the ones that are real bacon, not the hard little bits)
12 large hard boiled eggs peeled
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sour cream can replace with an equal amount of more mayonnaise
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
1 tsp ranch seasoning
1/2 tsp paprika plus more for garnishing
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup finely minced jalapeños usually this is about 2 - 3 large peppers

Cook the bacon slices, using any method you prefer. I like to bake mine at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes, or until nice and crispy.
Once bacon is crispy and cooled, either chop it or add it to a food processor to break it up into crumbles (similar to bacon bits). Set aside a little bit of the bacon crumbles to use as a garnish.

Slice the hard boiled eggs in half, lengthwise, into oval shapes. Remove yolks and add to a bowl. We find the end of a small spoon works well for removing the yolks.
Puree, grate, or mash the yolks. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, ranch seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, jalapeños, and the cooked bacon crumbles from earlier. Stir well to combine. Mixture should be creamy, but not runny.

Add egg yolk filling to piping bag fitted with a piping tip, or a resealable plastic bag. If using the plastic bag, snip a small corner off of the bag. Pipe filling into the hollow part of the egg whites. Alternately, a spoon can be used to dollop the filling in.

Before serving, dust with paprika, sprinkle with the reserved bacon crumbles and top with a slice of jalapeño pepper.

This recipe makes 24 deviled eggs, but can easily be doubled or even halved if you need a different amount.
We like to make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs for this recipe. However, use whichever method you prefer.
This recipe was developed and tested using large eggs. Other egg sizes will require different amounts of the filling ingredients.
The time for this recipe assumes you already have hard boiled eggs (since this isn't a recipe/method for making those).

Add eggs to a large pot and add water until it's about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring to a boil.
Once the water boils, turn OFF the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and keep it covered for 15 minutes.
Keep in mind this time is an average, as all pots, eggs, and stoves have variables that can alter the exact time needed.
