Jimmy Dean says: We take great tasting Jimmy Dean Sausage, combine it with a fluffy biscuit and other ingredients, to make a sandwich that’s hearty enough to fill you up. Jimmy Dean sandwiches also offer the variety that you’re looking for in your routine.

Abi says: I’d been looking forward to reviewing some non-oatmeal breakfast items for some time. Eventually Jimmy Dean sandwiches went on sale and I hopped on the sauasage train. Wow, that last sentence sounds so, so wrong. The sandwich in that picture was not consumed by me. That was George’s sandwich and he seemed to enjoy it. Before cooking my Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit in the microwave, I decided to take out the cheese. For all of the supposed culinary tradition regarding cheese and eggs, they are really only supposed to be combined in the form of quiche. Jimmy Dean does not make quiche. If he did make quiche, I would probably tell you to stay away from that too.

Instead of quiche, Mr. Dean makes sausage-heavy items like this sandwich. While it could do in a pinch, I don’t think that I will ever eat another one in my life. Even on sale, the sandwiches are $1.25 each. If I’m going to splurge (health-wise) on a sausage biscuit sandwich, I might as well get a better one at McDonald’s.

Jimmy Dean’s biscuit was somewhat heavy and chewy, the sausage became rubbery in the microwave, and the egg wasn’t enjoying the party. If you really, really need to consume such a non-healthy breakfast item perhaps you’d be better served by going to McDonald’s.

On a non-nutritional note, Jimmy Dean played millionaire Willard Whyte in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. Thank you Wikipedia!

Also, there is something insanely delicious about pork sausage. George and I try to stay away from pork and beef sausage, generally cooking with the healthier chicken or turkey varieties. But when it comes to breakfast, thanks for not being Jewish, mom.

Hello, we used to be able to find the ham, cheese , egg on a croissant. We
can’t find that anywhere anymore. Did they stop making those? No store seems
to sell that item.

How AWFUL - looked on line to write a letter of complaint to the company and found this site instead. Always buy Weight Watchers bacon egg and cheese biscuits or Aunt Jemima but this time I bought the Jimmy Dean. Put it in the micro this morning - CHRISTMAS MORNING - before meeting family - figured my dog and cat and I would enjoy it (they love bacon and eggs and the dog loves english muffins too) and did EXACTLY what the instructions said - 2 1/2 minutes defrost - turn over - 1 minute on high - took out the muffin and it was ROCK HARD as was the bacon and whatever stuff was inside it. Could have used it for a hocky puff. Threw it out and made my Aunt Jemima biscuit. How do I write the company?

I really love the sandwich, however lately the biscuits are broken, and one had no cheese. I wish something could be done about the packaging.

I would like a reply.

WHY, do we have to have Cheese on everything? I love the sandwiches, however when you try to take the cheese off, it falls apart.
Next thing you know we will have to have cheese with sex.
