We've never done deviled eggs at Thanksgiving but was thinking of them for
either T-day or Christmas where we feed about 50 folks at a time. The best
recipe I know is simple and I have never used any measurements. I boil and
peel eggs and seperate the whites from the yolks and set the whites in a
serving dish. I then salt the whites lightly. The yolks are put into a
bowl and sufficient mayo is added to bring them to a consistency that will
fit through the cake decorating apparatus. I also add onion powder, dijon
mustard, salt and pepper. Recently, I have begun adding bacon to the yolk
mixture. I then pipe the filling into the egg whites and sprinkle with
paprika. When I am very adventurous, I will substitute Kraft Spicy Mayo for
half of the regular mayo but this is an acquired taste.

My thoughts were that for 50 people, I could make 100 stuffed eggs for about
ten bucks. I am rarely cheap but when cooking for such large numbers of
people, the cost adds up!
