For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cornmeal mixture. If you don't have bacon grease, vegetable oil can be substituted, but the flavor won't be quite as rich. Make sure your bacon grease is hot before adding the tomato slices for optimal crispiness. These are delicious served with a creamy dipping sauce, such as ranch or remoulade.
