Dolly Parton is once again sharing a taste of her Southern heritage—this time straight from the freezer aisle.
In collaboration with Conagra Brands, the iconic entertainer has launched a new line of single-serve frozen meals inspired by her favorite comfort foods. The expansion builds on Dolly’s growing retail food brand and delivers homestyle flavors in a convenient, heat-and-eat format.
The collection features four Southern classics crafted to reflect Dolly’s signature warmth and hospitality. Among them is Dolly Parton’s Beef Pot Roast, made with tender USDA Choice beef, carrots, celery, onions, and roasted red potatoes in a rich, savory gravy. Her Chicken & Dumplings brings together white meat chicken, thick-cut vegetables, and fluffy dumplings in a creamy thyme and pepper sauce. The Country Fried Steak meal includes a crispy beef patty topped with black pepper and chive country gravy, served alongside mashed potatoes and seasoned green beans with smoky bacon. Rounding out the lineup is Shrimp & Grits, featuring creamy white cheddar grits, succulent shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and a bold Southern-style sauce. Each meal has a suggested retail price of $4.49 and can be prepared in either the microwave or oven.
“I’ve always believed in the power of a warm, hearty meal,” said Dolly Parton. “Now with these new offerings, I’m bringing a little taste of my own Southern favorites to you. Whether you’re busy or just craving some quick comfort, I hope these dishes warm your heart as much as your belly!”
The launch also includes Dolly Parton’s Biscuit Batter Peach Cobbler, a new multi-serve frozen dessert. This Southern classic features a biscuit-style topping that bakes to a golden finish, while the peach filling caramelizes underneath. Priced at USD9.99, it brings one of Dolly’s favorite desserts to a wider audience, offering a simple, oven-ready treat for gatherings or indulgent moments at home.
This latest venture follows the successful introduction of Dolly Parton’s baking mixes and frostings under the Duncan Hines brand in 2022, also developed with Conagra. The partnership, managed by IMG Licensing, has steadily expanded to include products that celebrate Dolly’s love of home cooking and Southern traditions.
“Our partnership with Dolly Parton has been nothing short of extraordinary,” said Tim Nangle, Vice President and General Manager at Conagra Brands. “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.”
Dolly Parton’s frozen meals and peach cobbler are now available at major grocery retailers nationwide, bringing classic Southern comfort to dinner tables everywhere.
