Prep for this creamy, savory, Southern-style comfort food is as easy as it gets: Boil water, add to bag, stir and let sit for 10 minutes. Testers loved the well defined jalapeno and corn flavors, fluffy texture and mild tang provided by a blend of cheddar jack cheeses. Eat these grits as a breakfast cereal or, as one tester suggested, "as filling for a jerky-stuffed burrito."

We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

I am not a grits person typically but this is an amazing meal on the trail and one of my all time favorites! I do buy and add some freeze dried sausage to it...but this is a truly good one to have in your pack!

Another complete winner from Packit!! This one's great for either breakfast or dinner. Polenta really is a pefect medium for rehydrated foods. Done correctly (e.g. the prescribed amount of water) you get a cheesy/creamy meal that's packed with great flavors and is calorie/carbohydrate dense . This one is no exception. A little heavier on seasoning and scallion flavor than their Polenta and Sausage dish this would taky any number of your protiens of choice with no problem (a bit of chorizo sent this dish over the top for us!) If you've ever had a problem with partially hydrated beans or other veggies giving you digestive issues on the trail...these polenta based meals are the solution!

This was really delicious! I'd even eat this at home!!!

I've tried a lot of different dehydrated options on the trail. This West Memphis Grits Souffle is definitely on my list as a great breakfast/lunch option. The flavor is great with bites of pepper and scallion shinning through some bites. The texture is creamy and slightly cheesy. Overall a VERY satisfying way to get some calories in while actually enjoying a meal (as opposed to simply choking it down....as is the case with some backpacking meals.) A+ on this one!!

Born and raised in Tennessee. I don’t like grits normally- but THESE are a total win. I love salty for breakfast and this hits the spot without feeling heavy.

So delicious! Thank you for making meal time on the trail so unexpectedly easy and delicious.

It tasted like real food! A little heavy on the shallot/onion flavors for my personal tase, but I'd still eat it again. I prepared at sea level and it needed a little more water to fully hydrate.

The West Memphis Grits Souffle is perfect for breakfast or dinner. I like to add an ounce or two of Packit Gourmet's Freeze-dried Pork Sausage for additional protein. This is one meal that others have asked to share with me and I refuse. It has the perfect level of spiciness to warm me up on a chilly evening. Bring your own bag because this one is mine.
