Notes

  • There are many ways to hard boil eggs; my favorite is to use an Instant Pot. Check out how to do this over at Farm Wife Feeds. 
  • A mixer is the best way to ensure a smooth filling for these classic hard boiled eggs.
  • Grandma's recipe is special because they are deviled eggs without relish. Instead, the delicious flavor comes from the combination of vinegar and sugar. 
  • Substitute mayonnaise for Miracle Whip if you prefer. 
  • The amount of filling may be less or more than the number of yolk you have.  It all depends on how full you fill the eggs.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or a piping bag to place the filling back in the eggs.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, put the filling in a small plastic resealable bag and seal.  Push the filling to one corner, and snip off a small piece of the end to make the tip. Squeeze this best ever deviled egg filling into the eggs for a pretty presentation. 
  • Try Grandma's other classic recipes like Apple Crisp and Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
