Kittencal's Cheddar Deviled Eggs

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is another great recipe I make these often for get togethers and they are always a big hit! The ingredients may be adjusted to taste, start with amounts listed and increase to suit taste, but be careful with the mustard amounts as it can be overpowering!. To serve a crowd, the complete recipe may be doubled. Cooking time does not include boiling the eggs. Try to use jumbo eggs for this, if you don't have a food processor just mix the filling with a hand mixer until smooth. Adjust the seasoning salt, garlic powder and all other ingredients to taste.

These were great, Kittencal! I halved the recipe, but it was still a little too soupy even after chilling.
