Our mouth is watering just at the sight of this, and with good reason; the goodness of this down home classic just can't be denied. Every bite of the fried pork, with the creamy, peppery gravy, is a revelation, a re-embrace of a classic. With bacon green beans on the side, this meal will be sticking to your ribs, and your heart, for some time. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
