Layer green tomato slices in a small, deep dish, sprinkling each layer with sugar; let stand 1 hour. Drain, reserving sugar liquid. Combine all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish; dredge tomato slices in mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon bacon drippings and 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add about one-third of tomato slices. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Repeat procedure twice with remaining tomato slices, bacon drippings, and oil. Drain off pan drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in skillet. Stir reserved sugar liquid until sugar dissolves. Add to reserved drippings in skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Drizzle over fried tomatoes; serve immediately.
