For a quick meal of Cajun Shrimp & Grits, this can't be beat! My family never even ate grits until we visited Savannah and Charleston. I use chicken stock instead of water, plus a bit of cream at the end to make them even more soft, creamy, and flavorful before adding the shredded cheddar cheese and topping it with the bacon/shrimp/scallion/garlic mixture.

I've made these as directed and like other reviews they had a gritty texture which is not pleasant. I've given them a few more tries using different liquids and cooking times. So far the creamiest grits were cooked in my small/mini slow cooker for about 6 hours or so on low using water. Butter, cheese and salt at the end was needed for flavor; they were terribly bland otherwise. Thanks to the other reviews who suggested the slow cooker. Good luck everyone!

I love me some Quaker 5-Minute Grits so smooth with texture and the flavor is go good. My kids loved when I cook them for breakfast or when we have breakfast for dinner. These grits will have you full and ready for the day I’m very satisfied and I highly recommend to family and friends these grits will make many meals great quality and value.

I really love the grits and I was surprised that I bought instant because I grew up eating the old fashioned grits that cooked much, much longer!!!! My very strong recommendation is to lower sodium or develop a product that is lower in sodium!!!!!!!

These grits are fast to cook there easy to prepare they're good no matter what it's paired with I eat them a few times a week this product does not need improvement I love it it's in my price range and a small amount goes a long way I would recommend it to anyone who eats heavy meals like me

I had the same issues as everyone else, but I decided to do some prombkem solving. I went and grab a 1qt pot boiled some more water to high temps and poured little at a time in side whisking like crazy. then I let it sit simmering for 7 min then taste and continue. I must admit I originally did 2 portions of grits. The 2 portions called for 2 cups of water but I used whole milk for the second cup. I think that caused for less liquid to be available in the pot to be absorbed. But I got it right by just adding boiling water little at a time then letting it simmer.

My quick grits no longer cook up creamy good. They taste like sand is in them. It’s the consistency of valve grinding compound. We opened a new box this morning and it was worse than the last box. Help!! Please fix our grits!! We are 71 and have been using this product for years. My husband makes them the same every day He hasn’t changed but the grits have … what can we do?? Fix this please! It has been getting steadily worse the last couple years. This morning I chocked on them 😢

We both love grits both alone and as the important base part of several of our favorite recipes. Since we’re both counting calories, I have a question for Quaker about the nutrition label. It lists a serving as 1/4 cup of grits for 130 calories. Does this mean the volume of 1/4 cup measured dry, before cooking, has 130 calories? (I hope that’s what it means.) Or, does it mean that 1/4 cup of the cooked/reconstituted grits has 130 calories? I love them either way, just curious. Thanks for a great product, Quaker!

I have used your Quick Grits for years and they have ALWAYS been creamy and delicious. My recent purchase wasn't anything like creamy and delicious, in fact they had the WORST mouth feel and the instinct was to spit them out. Whatever you have done to your processing of the corn or the corn product its self needs to be changed back. I just hope you don't mess with the oats or I will no longer be a customer of Quaker. I would give the rating a zero if I could.

This is my recipe for a quick breakfast. I make one half box of grits with 8 cups of water, salt, pepper and butter and cook in the microwave in a large bowl with a paper plate as the cover so that it does not bowl over. Cook for 15 minutes and the grits come out perfect.. Spoon a portion of grits into a bowl, add egg beaters, bacon, feta cheese and coby jack cheese and microwave for about 4 minutes. This is a great breakfast bowl. You can refridgerate the remain grits. The next morning just pull out the grits and make more breakfast bowls with your desired ingredients.
