Sausage, egg and cheese croissants, or the Croissanwich as Burger King calls them, are a favorite of mine, although when it comes to buying them in the store, I rarely buy them. But occasionally, I will pick up a box.
This time I got Jimmy Dean. But normally I just get Great Value or the Kroger brand since they are pretty much exactly the same and cheaper. I only got Jimmy Dean because when I went to Ruler at the time, they didn't have the croissants available, just biscuits, and the only croissants they did have were with bacon. I wanted sausage.
The store ones are never as good as one fresh from Burger King. Not by a longshot. But the store bought ones do fill the bill.
My only complaint is that the croissants themselves are always a bit chewy no matter what brand you get. You would think they'd have perfected this by now from frozen to microwaved without getting a chewy croissant.
At least it's a tolerable chewy.

I like the Jimmy Dean variety. Our Walmart doesn't carry any other brand so I've never tried them.

@porwest They have the bacon, egg and cheese croissant but not the sausage one in Great Value. I don't like the bacon. *shrug*

@DaddyEvil Ah. Makes sense. Yeah, that was the reason I bought Jimmy Dean for about 50 cents more per box. All they had in the Kroger variety was the bacon ones, and where they did offer sausage, it was biscuits, and I don't like the biscuits.

Some frozen things come out good after being microwaved and yet other things are disappointing. Sorry that your croissants are chewy.

Yeah, bread is always a problem in the microwave. Have a good day.

have you tried putting them in air fryer on "dehydrate" and then reheat them? 
i had some frozen buns and when i did that - they were so good like they were just baked

I've never tried one. But that sounds really delicious.

@porwest I would give anything for some of my grandmothers homemade biscuits straight out of the oven. I didn't start to appreciate them until I was like 18 and she passed away when I was 21. I have never liked canned biscuits or the ones made with the Bisquick mix.

@porwest I enjoy them. I get up pretty early in the morning, at which time I usually eat cereal and have a cup of coffee, but I'll throw a Jimmy Dean in my lunch bag when I head to work, and then heat it up and eat it when I get to work or shortly thereafter.
