Product overview

Sweet-and-savory, by the numbers

This 18.8oz box contains 4 Maple Griddle Cake sandwiches — sausage, egg, and cheese between two pancakes made with real maple syrup and maple-flavored bits. Jimmy Dean's own product page notes each sandwich delivers 13g of protein and microwaves in under two minutes.

Per the nutrition label, one sandwich has 360 calories, 7g saturated fat, 810mg sodium, 12g total sugars, and 13g protein — notably higher sodium than the plain croissant sandwich, and the sugar content is the highest of the three Jimmy Dean products in this lineup, which tracks with the maple pancake component.

The pancakes are made from water, enriched wheat flour, sugar, maple-flavored bits (themselves containing sugar, whole wheat flour, soybean oil, and maple flavor), plus buttermilk powder and leavening agents. The sausage and egg patties use the same base recipes as Jimmy Dean's other breakfast sandwiches: pork and mechanically separated chicken for the sausage, whole eggs and nonfat milk for the egg patty.

We did not find a rigorous, methodology-disclosed taste test of this specific SKU. What we found instead is a cluster of consumer comments (via Sam's Club reviews of the closely related item and general retail feedback) describing the sandwich as staying soft after microwaving, not overly sweet, and a cheaper stand-in for a McDonald's McGriddle. These are unverified individual opinions, not controlled comparisons, so treat the McGriddle comparison as anecdotal rather than tested.

No aggregated star rating specific to this exact Amazon ASIN was available in our research; sentiment across retailer review sections we found skewed positive, with the sweet-savory combination cited as the main draw and the softness of a reheated pancake as the main limitation compared to fresh-griddled versions.

Bottom line: an accurate frozen approximation of a fast-food griddle sandwich, with real nutrition tradeoffs (810mg sodium, 12g sugar) worth checking against your own daily targets before making it a regular breakfast.

Buying questions

Quick Answers

Is this basically a frozen McGriddle?

It's a similar concept — sausage, egg, and cheese between maple pancakes — and some consumer comments we found compare it favorably to the McDonald's McGriddle on sweetness and price, but we found no controlled side-by-side test.

How much sugar and sodium does one sandwich have?

Per the nutrition label: 360 calories, 12g total sugars, and 810mg sodium (about a third of a typical 2,300mg daily sodium limit) per sandwich.

Does the pancake use real maple syrup?

The ingredient list lists 'pure maple syrup' at 2% or less, with most maple flavor coming from maple-flavored bits and natural flavoring rather than syrup alone.

How is it best prepared?

Package instructions call for microwaving; some reviewers suggest that's fine for softness but a finishing toast can help firm up the pancake exterior.
