Brown, flip again, and sprinkle with more sugar. Each side of the tomato will be cooked twice and the brown sugar should caramelize. Remove tomatoes from pan and leave about 1 T. bacon fat. (Sometimes you will have to add an extra T. of fat because the tomatoes will have soaked up the fat in the pan.) Add a tsp. \u00c2\u00a0or two of flour and cook and stir a minute or so. Stir in half a C. of cream and bring to a boil. Season, pour gravy over tomatoes, and serve with the bacon. Note: Use fairly high heat and watch closely. The tomatoes will turn to mush if the browning process takes too long.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yield:<\/p>\n<p>Calories:<\/p>\n<p>Fat:<\/p>\n<p>Fiber:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freshly cooked bacon and the rendered bacon fat A large green tomato that shows tinges of pink Salt, pepper and flour Brown sugar 1\/2 C. light cream or half and half &nbsp; Slice a thin slice off the top and bottom of the tomato and remove the core.
