I agree with you about the bacon grease, I save it to cook with. I will try this recipe today but I already know they're gonna be delicious, thanks

Awesome recipe! I changed it up to suit my taste by using breadcrumbs instead of flour and added a bit of sea salt but that's just personal taste. Thanks so much! OH and I'm a Kentucky gal too! =)

So quick and easy to do... definitely a must to try for those who want to try different things but with less fuss. I'm not into tomatoes and yet I loved how this one looked and tasted. I used homegrown tomatoes, freshly harvested off my mom's little garden and I don't know if that made all the difference, but it was really good.

This is the basic recipe, we do a few things differently, we add hot sauce to the milk mixture for a little kick, then we double dip our tomatoes, first in flour to coat, then in the egg mixture, and then dip in the cornmeal and fry it up in bacon grease. Awesome!

This is the only way to fry green tomatoes! I do however, take it up a notch by using buttermilk in stead of regular milk, and as others have suggested, a dash or two of cayenne with a sprinkle of sugar.

It was hard getting bacon grease so I used coconut oil and this may be why it was hard to get the picture-perfect ones shown. I also used some of the suggestions and it tastes good,(no salt?).

I customized this great Southern recipe to make it gluten free using gluten free Bisquick instead of all-purpose flour and it worked beautifully! Made flavorful, crispy fried green tomatoes. And yes, I agree you MUST use bacon grease.

Great recipe. You can stretch the bacon grease with a little lard if you don't have enough. I always use sugar, sprinkling a bit on before the dredging in the flour. My dad loved these- he ate them as a child in 1910! Fond thought s of him when I eat these!
