Recipe by: Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook Combine sugar, salt, and pepper; rub mixture onto both sides of pork chops. Coat chops well with flour. Fry in ¼ inch of hot bacon drippings in a large heavy skillet until browned on both sides; remove from skillet and set aside. Add onion and green pepper; saute until just tender. Return chops to skillet. Add lemon slices and water to come ½ inch up sides of pan. Cover and simmer over low heat 1 to 1½ hours, or until very tender, adding additional water if necessary.
NOTES : These just fall off the bone and melt in the mouth.
