Instructions

In a skillet, fry bacon until crispy. Transfer to paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon pan drippings. Allow bacon to cool and then crumble. To ensure the drippings don't get too hot remove pan from heat while you prepare the dip.
In a bowl combine mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated garlic, dill weed and vinegar. Stir in crumbled bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the tomatoes.
Season both sides of sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper.
Dredge each slice in flour, shake of excess. Next, dip in egg and then press into corn meal to coat completely.
Return bacon pan to medium heat. Add in canola oil. Once hot, fry the tomatoes , in batches if necessary, until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt.
Place tomatoes on a serving platter. Serve hot with bacon ranch for dipping.
