CHICAGO — Global icon Dolly Parton is expanding her retail food line in collaboration with Conagra Brands to include Southern-inspired, single-serve frozen meals.
"I've always believed in the power of a warm, hearty meal, and now with these offerings I'm bringing a little taste of my own Southern favorites to you," Parton said. "Whether you're busy or just craving some quick comfort, I hope these dishes warm your heart as much as your belly."
The new product launch includes the following:
- Dolly Parton's Beef Pot Roast: Tender USDA Choice beef with cuts of carrots, celery, onions and roasted red potatoes in a rich, savory Southern-style gravy.
- Dolly Parton's Chicken & Dumplings: White meat chicken with thick-cut carrots and celery, paired with fluffy dumplings in a creamy pepper and thyme sauce.
- Dolly Parton's Country Fried Steak: A tender, fried beef patty topped with black pepper and chive country gravy, served alongside chunky mashed potatoes and seasoned green beans with smoky bacon.
- Dolly Parton's Shrimp & Grits: Creamy white cheddar grits with succulent shrimp, cherry tomatoes and a bold, spicy Southern-style sauce.
Each meal has a suggested retail price of $4.49 and can be cooked either in a traditional oven or a microwave for convenience.
The launch builds upon a successful partnership between Dolly Parton and Conagra Brands that began in 2022 with a line of baking mixes and frostings under the Duncan Hines brand.
"Our partnership with Dolly Parton has been nothing short of extraordinary," said Tim Nangle, vice president and general manager at Conagra. "Her genuine love for home-cooked meals and deep connection with fans makes this expansion into frozen foods a natural next step. We're proud to bring even more of Dolly's warmth and flavor into homes across the country."
The new single-serve frozen meals are now available at major retail locations across the nation.
