Quick Answer
If you want more protein and a smoky, crispy bite, choose the Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles Bacon. If you prefer a savory, classic sausage flavor and a lower price, the Sausage cup is your pick.
Protein and Flavor: The Main Trade-Off
The Bacon Simple Scrambles delivers 24 grams of protein per serving, while the Sausage version provides 20 grams. That extra protein comes with a smokier, saltier taste that many find more satisfying. The Sausage cup offers a milder, familiar breakfast flavor that pairs well with cheese and eggs without overpowering them.
Both cups include two real eggs and cheddar cheese, so the base is identical. The real difference is the meat: crispy bacon bits versus savory pork sausage crumbles. Bacon adds a crunchy texture contrast; sausage gives a softer, more uniform bite.
Price and Convenience: What You Pay For
The Sausage cup is priced at $0.84, while the Bacon cup costs $1.99. That's a noticeable gap, especially if you eat these regularly. The Bacon option costs more than twice as much per cup, so budget-conscious shoppers may lean toward Sausage.
Both are microwaveable and include all ingredients in one cup, so preparation time is identical. The choice comes down to whether the extra protein and smoky flavor justify the higher cost for you.
How to Choose Your Simple Scrambles Cup
- Choose Sausage if you want: a classic, savory breakfast flavor with a softer texture and a lower price ($0.84 per cup). Best for everyday value and familiar taste.
- Choose Bacon if you want: a smoky, crispy bite with 4 more grams of protein per serving, and you're willing to pay $1.99 per cup. Best for high-protein mornings or when you crave bacon flavor.
- If you're undecided: try the Sausage cup first because it's more affordable and has a milder taste that appeals to most people. Start with Sausage to test your preference without overspending.
