Fried green tomatoes are stacked and smothered with pimiento cheese in this seriously comforting dish that doubles up on two of my favorite southern classics. The mandarin coleslaw makes it bright and fresh. -Amy Freeze, Avon Park, Florida

These Napoleons were a big disappointment. They were greasy, bland, and just plain bad.

I didn't care for the combination of flavors in these Napoleons. I think they would be better with a different filling.

The Napoleons were a bit too complicated to make. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I found the Napoleons to be a bit bland. I think they needed more seasoning.

These Green Napoleons were delicious! The tomatoes were crispy and flavorful, and the filling was cheesy and gooey. I loved the tangy coleslaw on top. I'll definitely be making these again.

These Napoleons were a bit more work than I expected, but they were totally worth the effort. They were a huge hit with my family, and I'll definitely be making them again for special occasions.

I'm not usually a fan of fried foods, but these Green Napoleons were an exception. The tomatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the filling was flavorful and cheesy. I'll definitely be making these again!

These Fried Green Napoleons were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of crispy green tomatoes, savory filling, and tangy coleslaw was simply divine. My guests couldn't get enough of them.
