Nobody packs more into their 9-to-5 workday than Dolly Parton. From her kitchen and home decor collaboration with Dollar General to her boxed baking mixes and frozen macaroni and cheese, the country music legend and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is never not busy. And if you thought Dolly was done in the kitchen, you’d be wrong — because her latest launch of frozen meals is proof that she’s only just begun.
The most recent collaboration between Dolly and Conagra Foods is a line of four single-serve frozen meals bursting with Southern-style flavor, and a family-sized dessert that’s perfect for parties. It’s basically like having the superstar make you dinner — in the comfort of your own home!
The four new entrées include Louisiana-style Shrimp & Grits with cherry tomatoes and scallions, Chicken and Dumplings with veggies in a creamy sauce, Beef Pot Roast braised with carrots and red potatoes, and Country-Fried Steak with mashed potatoes, green beans, and bacon. And for dessert? A bake-and-serve peach cobbler, complete with a buttery biscuit crust, that’s big enough to serve up to eight people.
Chances are that Dolly doesn’t have much time to cook these days (between releasing new records, designing kitchenware, and whatever else is up her bejeweled sleeves), but thanks to this new line of frozen meals she won’t have to — and neither will you.
Dolly’s new frozen meals are available at stores nationwide, including Walmart and Target, and they’re priced to perfection. Each meal costs somewhere around $4, which is a small price to pay for a “home-cooked” meal — especially one made by the legendary Dolly Parton.
