CHICAGO, Feb. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Breakfast will never be the same. For anyone who has mulled over a boring bowl of oatmeal or cereal and envisioned more, Jimmy Dean brand unveils the next breakfast breakthrough – Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Browns. Stuffed full of delicious meat and cheese, the innovative product wraps all the goodness consumers love into a portable, ready-in-minutes, ultra-crispy potato hash brown. It's hash browns – reinvented.

Thanks to state-of-the-art crisping sleeve technology, Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Browns are crispy right out of the microwave. The technology, coupled with delicious flavor varieties, is changing the way consumers enjoy hash browns, where soggy has long been the standard.

"Our research told us that consumers want a warm, crispy hash brown and are eager for new flavor varieties," said Tracy Fadden, director of marketing, Jimmy Dean brand. "We filled a void in the market by taking an American breakfast staple and reinventing it. Our hash browns are crispy with every bite and stuffed with delicious meat and cheese goodness – a 'day-changer' in the breakfast category."

Hash browns are a beloved breakfast food. First introduced in the late 1800s, hash brown potatoes were served in New York City's finest hotels, then later became a fast-food favorite. Not much has changed since then, until now with Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Browns.

Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Browns are available in three bold flavor combinations:

Sausage & Cheese – Stuffed full of delicious sausage, mozzarella and cheddar cheese
Meat Lovers – Loaded with savory sausage, bacon, ham, cheddar and mozzarella
Bacon & Veggies – Packed full of crispy bacon, tomatoes, peppers, onions, cheddar and mozzarella cheese

"Our Stuffed Hash Browns are great for breakfast or as a snack," said Fadden. "Consumers want portable options that are delicious, fast and filling. We're grab-and-go goodness."

Available in the frozen food section of grocery stores nationwide, Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Browns come in four-count packages with a suggested retail price of $5.49. Learn more about the latest innovation in grab-and-go breakfast solutions.
