Oh, I love fried tomatoes! We fry up thick slices of firm red tomatoes dredged in flour, salt and pepper. Fry them up in bacon grease and then make gravy with the leftover flour, some milk and the drippings from the fried tomatoes. You can also use a few of your friend tomatoes diced up in the gravy. serve with biscuits or bread. Yumm!!!
