Ingredients and Substitutions Notes
You only need a handful of ingredients to make Ranch bacon deviled eggs…
- Hardboiled Eggs – You can boil these ahead of time, so they're ready.
- Buttermilk Ranch Mix – I prefer to use Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch mix to make Hidden Valley Ranch deviled eggs. It's easy and convenient.
- Condiments – You'll need both mayonnaise and mustard. While mayo makes a lower carb version of these eggs, I've also used a dressing like Miracle Whip; but keep in mind, you may not need as much salt if doing so.
- Dill Pickles – Just mince them up.
- Bacon – I prefer to cook our bacon with breakfast and save it back in the fridge for use later; but you can also use precooked bacon and just pop it in the microwave when ready. Regardless which bacon you choose, it will need to be cooked and crumbled.
How to Make Bacon Ranch Deviled Eggs

- Add the Ranch mix, mayonnaise, mustard, and minced Dill pickles to the egg yolks, and mix together well.
- Fill each egg white half with a spoonful of the yolk mixture.*
- Cover and refrigerate the eggs for 1-2 hours.
- When ready to serve, crumble the bacon on top of each deviled egg.

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ's
Personally, I'd rather eat deviled eggs the day of, but with maybe 2-3 hours to chill in the fridge. However, you can make them the day before, and they'll be just fine. Now, if you are making them the day before, I do recommend crumbling freshly cooked bacon on the day of; if you add bacon the day before, it can get kinda chewy and tough from sitting in the fridge.
Definitely store them in an airtight deviled egg container with a lid, and in the refrigerator. You can also put them on a platter and cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
While you can freeze the yolk mixture, it's best to not freeze the egg whites because they'll become quite rubbery in texture.
