Ring the dinner bell, because Dolly Parton’s cooking up an old-fashioned Southern meal.
The “Jolene” songstress has delighted fans for years, not just with her music, but with her line of boxed baking kits from Duncan Hines, allowing home bakers to whip up their versions of her favorite cakes, cookies, and even cornbread and buttermilk biscuits.

In May, Parton’s collaboration with Conagra (Duncan Hines’ parent company) expanded to the freezer aisle, where she launched a collection of single-serve frozen meals inspired by some of the 10-time Grammy winner’s favorite Southern dishes, from country fried steak to chicken and dumplings.

Based on the comments on Parton’s latest Instagram post, where she invited fans to enjoy the bold flavors of her shrimp and grits offering, it’s a hit. The frozen meal features creamy white cheddar grits with shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and a spicy Southern-style sauce.
“My favorite southern dish!” one enthusiastic fan declared as others took to the comments to praise the “delicious” item. Others who have tried the item agreed that it’s “very yummy,” and those who haven’t said they “trust you Dolly!” and shared that it “sounds delicious.”

A similar sentiment was echoed in an earlier post from Parton, where she shared that her “beef pot roast meal is here to fill you up and keep you smiling.”
One fan gave a rave review, writing, “I have tried all of them and honestly the best out there, and others agreed, commenting, “I tried the country fried steak one and it was tasty! It came with a good portion of green beans. I’ve heard the shrimp&grits is good.”
