All you really have to do to make the best grits is use chicken (or veggie) broth instead of water or milk to boil ‘em. Flavor issue=solved.
My favorite is chicken broth, regular Quaker grits; when they’re cooked stir in butter, fresh thyme, salt, pepper, a little white cheddar. Yummmmmm

I prefer savory grits to sweet too (sweet grits? BARF). I just salt my water while boiling, but then add garlic powder & cheddar cheese while it’s all cooking. It’s my daughter’s hands-down favorite breakfast…garlic cheese grits.

Mmm, garlic cheese grits forever! Sweet grits reminds me of growing up in Okla. and eating rice. We always had rice with butter and sugar on it. I didn’t even know the proper place for rice was under a savory gravy-ish item until I was in my mid-20s.
