We are a family on the go. Our schedule has become more crazy with work, school, and extra-curricular activities as my kids have gotten older, and lately our weekends, which should be a time of rest, end up being just as hectic as our weekdays.Recently, my oldest daughter had a swim meet that was 35 minutes away and she needed to be IN the pool for warm up at 7 AM. When the alarm went off at 5:30 AM that Saturday, I was not very happy about it.I’m not my best at 5:30 AM, especially on a weekend, and I had no desire to make a big hearty breakfast. But we all needed to eat, especially my little fish who needed nourishment for her meet.Jimmy Dean Sausage egg & cheese croissant

Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sandwiches

Just in time for the early wake-up call, I was invited to try Jimmy Dean’s breakfast sandwiches. These protein-packed sandwiches are made with authentic ingredients, such as real eggs, real cheese, Canadian bacon and sausages, and help you get a satisfying start to the day.

Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches offer busy families a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious, warm breakfast and are a great-tasting option that provides weekend breakfast taste in weekday time.

Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sandwiches

These sandwiches can be found in your grocer’s breakfast freezer section. There are many breakfast options to choose from:

  • Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwiches
  • Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches
  • Sausage, Egg & Cheese Muffin Sandwiches
  • Canadian Bacon, Whole Cracked Egg & Cheese Muffin Sandwiches
  • Southern Style Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches
  • Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches
  • Meat Lovers Muffin Sandwiches
  • Ham & Cheese Croissant Sandwiches

We decided to try Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwiches and the Canadian Bacon, Whole Cracked Egg & Cheese Muffin Sandwiches. I liked the sausage flavor of the croissant sandwiches, while my daughters preferred the Canadian Bacon.

Jimmy Dean Croissant

On crazy busy mornings, there’s no need to hit a drive thru as these sandwiches are individually packaged and take less than 3 minutes to heat in the microwave, following the package directions.

My family’s schedule is not going to slow down anytime soon. And it’s nice to know that there are easy and hearty breakfast options available for hectic mornings when the alarm is telling me it’s time to get up, but my brain just isn’t quite ready.

    Our Saturdays are usually pretty busy, too. We have judo for three hours on Saturdays. It’s an hour away, and starts at 9, so my husband usually makes us veggie burritos and tea. I love it because it sticks with us until we finish, and they’re so yummy. I think they’re healthier than getting something from a drive-thru too. He puts chopped onion and bell pepper in a skillet with a tablespoon of melted butter and sautees until the veggies are soft. Then he adds three or four beaten eggs, with some hot sauce (couple of tablespoons) and cooks until the egg is done. He puts some shredded cheese on a tortilla, adds the veggie and egg mixture down the middle, then a little more cheese. Fold up like a burrito and place back in the pan to brown. Delicious and cheap.
