Not a fan unfortunately. :( I’ve loved the standard breakfast bowls all these years and was REALLY psyched to try these “40g of protein” bowls! (obviously they’re trying to capitalize on the protein kick). This flavor was WEIRD .. spicy and yet not flavorful spicy? Was it eggs - was it not - what textures are going in my mouth right now?! Disappointed and threw most of it away. I gave 3 stars for a very full serving at least, but hopefully they keep working on these.

Packed with Protein and Full of Flavor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This breakfast bowl was flavorful, filling, and super convenient. The chipotle chicken adds a nice smoky kick without being overpowering, and the eggs and cheese tasted rich and satisfying. I was especially impressed by the 40g of protein — it kept me full for hours. Great option for a quick high-protein breakfast that actually tastes good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t expect this to taste that good. Super easy to make, packed with protein and perfect when you’re short on time. It comes in a good portion, and the ingredients are my favorite

Good but oily
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this and it wasn’t bad; it had solid flavor but it was soo oily. By the time it was fully heated, the contents were about half full; the eggs just became saturated in the oil from the cheese bacon and chicken seasoning.. personally made it hard for me to get through

40g of protein
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the flavor of this bowl is great. It definitely had a little bit of a kick to it which was unexpected. I’m impressed by the protein content. I let my husband try a bite too, and he spit it out immediately. He felt like the eggs were overcooked. This isn’t something that we would eat together, but I would probably eat it before a busy day at work to get my protein in

Great tasting!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jimmy Dean Zesty Monterey & Bacon Bowl is perfect for a quick breakfast. Just pop it in the microwave and it’s done in under 3 minutes. The combination of the scrambled eggs, bacon and the zesty monterey tastes great and has a good texture . It’s the perfect serving size for one. It is very peppery and I think a little less pepper would make this even better.

It’s good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bowl was really good! It was easy to prepare and it’s definitely tastier with salsa! I think for how easy it was to do it’s good for its value! Additionally, I did have to wait for a bit to cool down. Without salsa the bowl was a bit bland but not that bad.

absolutely great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE this breakfast bowl. I am really big on quick and easy breakfast meals, and if it’s not quick and easy i’ll skip eating breakfast entirely. however, this bowl packs a big flavor, and is filling. will definitely be trying other flavors in this, because it is DEFINITELY worth the price!

Zesty Monteray? Now You're Speaking My Language!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bowl is way better than it has any business being for a microwave meal. The eggs are fluffy, the bacon is smoky, and that Zesty Monterey + jalapeño kick? Chef’s kiss. It actually has flavor instead of tasting like sadness. The packaging is just perfection: innovative designed bowl that you leave cellophane on to cook, but use your fork to poke holes (two or three sets of holes helps it cook perfectly throughout. Super filling too. I’m not hunting for snacks an hour later, which is rare. Perfect for those mornings when I want something hot and satisfying without lifting a finger. Final verdict: bold, savory, slightly spicy perfection in a bowl. Would absolutely keep stocked for those “I refuse to cook but still want to thrive” mornings. 💅🔥

Love 💖
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, between the school run and everything else on my plate some mornings are a total rush! I finally tried the Jimmy Dean Zesty Monterey and Bacon Bowl today, and it’s actually a lifesaver when you're short on time. The Monterey Jack cheese gives it a nice little kick that stays interesting, and it’s surprisingly filling with all that protein and the diced potatoes. It’s definitely becoming my new emergency breakfast for those days when I’m running behind but still want something warm. Does anyone else rely on these for a quick morning win, or are you strictly a coffee-and-go kind of person?

Microwave Magic: Big Flavor, Zero Effort Breakfast
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Jimmy Dean Zesty Monterey & Bacon Protein Bowl surprised me in the best way. It actually tastes like something you'd throw together yourself, not something pulled from the freezer in a rush. It's a single-serving bowl with the aroma as it heats becomes a warm savory egg base, then the bacon slides in smoky and salty, and right behind that comes the zesty, peppery layer with hints of tomato and jalapeño. As far as the texture, the eggs warm into soft and fluffy. Give them a stir halfway through heating so they stay tender. The cheese is a smooth, melty coating. The potatoes can vary from firm to a soft, hearty bite. The bacon won't be skillet crispy, but it doesn't vanish into sogginess, which is a small miracle for frozen bacon.

Not my favorite of the breakfast bowls. The bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I eat Jimmy dean breakfast bowls often. I love both the “lean” ones and the regular ones and I was excited to see one with more protein but I didn’t love it. I felt that it had more meat but it was fattier bacon. Now the instructions did have you cooking it different than their other bowls so maybe if I cooked it longer then the bacon would have been better. I did like the zesty flavor of it because I do love to add salsa to my bowls. All in all I don’t think the extra protein made me love this bowl and I will stick with the other versions. I received a coupon for this bowl in exchange for an honest review.

Super delicious
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect personal portion for a quick dinner. The flavor is amazing, you can feel the cheese and the bacon with a little bit of spice. The cheese melted easily and came together. I eat it with some pita chips, but you can side with anything.

Tasty and a great amount of protein
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Jimmy Dean Zesty Monterey & Bacon bowl is a great source of protein with 40g of protein! It is made with eggs, bacon, Monterey jack cheese, and a garden salsa blend. I almost think there was too much bacon and it made it a little salty. I think if they would use a little less bacon and add some sausage that would cut down on the saltiness. The time in the microwave was adequate and everything was cooked through. I think I would stir it one more time in between the second time in the microwave and the end. Some of the cheese got a little gloopy and made it so parts of the bowl had more cheese and some had none. The bowl was filling and I liked that it is made without any artificial colors or flavors. I would probably buy it again, but I would probably look for a sausage version first and buy this one if the sausage version was not available.

Zesty, tasty egg dish!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Jimmy Dean egg bowl was a tasty way to get 40 grams of protein in one, easy-to-prepare meal! I liked that the eggs were mixed in this bowl with the right proportions of bacon and cheese. It had a good zippy flavor, not too spicy. The levels of salt and other seasonings were to my liking as well. This is not a bland egg dish!

Perfect to go
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bowl features scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese. It tastes super flavorful and is slightly spicy. I’d say the bowl is well seasoned and filled with high protein. Heating only takes a couple of minutes. Super satisfying, quick, and easy to go breakfast.

Very spicy, but quick breakfast
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was good for a quick breakfast. I did not like how spicy it actually was. I thought maybe by it saying “zesty” that maybe had like a mildly spicy or maybe even medium kick to it. It was extremely spicy. I added some more cheese and a little sour cream to level out the spiciness. The texture was nice. Unfortunately for me the spiciness outweighed the actual flavors of the bacon and eggs. It smelled realiy good. I am unable to evaluate if it had an aftertaste. The consistency/texture of the food was decent. It was not soggy like some frozen products can be after cooking.

Highly recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fact that these are easy to heat up in the morning for a quick and simple breakfast. We even upped them a notch by adding them to tortilla shells and making breakfast burritos. They are quick and easy and adding them to a tortilla makes them on the go breakfast that’s easy to eat even in the car.
