Three years after debuting an extensive line of baking products alongside Conagra Foods’ Dunkan Hines in 2022, Dolly Parton is expanding her line of Southern comfort food items even further.
Parton is the face of a series of new food items that have lept from the baking to the freezer aisle. New single-serve main dishes feature the country superstar as the face of four new comfort food meals.
Dolly Parton’s meals serve up Southern-inspired, quality comfort food. These include Chicken & Dumplings, Beef Pot Roast, Country Fried Steak, and Shrimp & Grits. Food blogger Markie_Devo shared images of the new products on Instagram. Along with these frozen items, Conagra Foods is releasing a Dolly Parton family-size Biscuit Batter Peach Cobbler boxed baking mix.
It is unclear when these meals will debut in supermarket freezers, but the products will likely be carried at outlets that already feature Parton’s baking mixes. Fans shared their enthusiasm for the new product line in the comments section of the Instagram post.
“I love the Dolly Parton Duncan Hines mixes so, would probably try this,” one wrote. “Oh I’m getting that cobbler,” a second Dolly fan penned. A third commented, “The cornbread and the cheesecake are my all-time faves!!! Can’t wait for these.”
