Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles for breakfast – 4 year update

Travel, Finance, Food, and living well

4 years later

I’m still buying, preparing, and eating these for the occasional breakfast at least 4 years after discovering and trying them for the first time.. I’ve settled on the Meat Lover’s Variety as my favorite and pick up 2 or 3 at a time when I’ve got none at home and I’m grocery shopping.

On other days I might enjoy a pastry or cereal bar but this is a way to mix things up and keep the variety in diet that I need. I still have the powdered eggs as part of my long storage food supply and if I haven’t written a review on them should post one soon.

Jimmy Dean Simple Scramblers for Breakfast

These Jimmy Dean Simple Scramblers are found in the refrigerated section of your grocer. I like that they aren’t frozen and they don’t have potatoes in them. Just eggs, cheese, and some meat. this was a good match for the Keto diet I tried out.

Preparation is super easy and quick. You open the sealed package and remote a small sealed cup that contains liquid eggs, and also a package that contains the cheese and meat. Empty the liquid eggs into the cup and place in the microwave for a short time. In mine that’s 60 seconds.

After a minute you take out the now hot cup of liquid eggs, and open the package of cheese and meat and stir it into the cup. Place the cup back into the microwave and cook it a second time. In my oven 50 seconds is what I use to finish cooking the mixture and have it solidify like scrambled eggs do when cooked.

I remove from the microwave and add pepper or some hot sauce and then it’s ready to consume straight from the container. I like that it yields pretty tasty results with a minimum of preparation effort or things to clean up.

I like all of them and usually pickup at least one of each of the three varieties. The pricing in the grocery store is much less than what I saw when adding the Amazon shopping info to this post.

Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowl – Sausage

Sometimes I skip eating breakfast to save some calories but when I want to eat a breakfast quickly at home, I like a Jimmy Dean Sausage Breakfast bowl.

It’s ready in about 4 minutes and besides tasting pretty good, the portion is sized right to satisfy without making me feel too full.  This variety lacks the Bacon that’s found in the Meat Lovers version, but it has an ample amount of sausage and cheese.

I will typically buy 2 or 4 different kinds of these at the grocery store at the 2 for $5 price.  A cup of coffee and this with a squirt of hot sauce added is how I start many of my days.
