Loaded Southern Egg Salad with Bacon

I love egg salad. It’s really just mashed up Deviled Eggs, if you think about it. And I LOVE Deviled Eggs. But by mashing the eggs, you can do so much more with the salad. It’s a sandwich spread, a dip for parties, a stuffing for tomatoes and jalapeños and much, much more. The uses are limited only by your imagination.

With this recipe, Loaded Southern Egg Salad with Bacon, I wanted a Southern Egg Salad that had more body to it. Something where the egg and mayo played more supporting roles.

You can crank back on the pickles, onion, garlic and bacon if you want a more traditional egg salad – but be sure to try it with my proportions, too. You just might like it this way.
