Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Step 2: Add the lamb to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Add the onion, carrots, and potatoes to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Step 4: Return the lamb and bacon to the skillet. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 5: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together.
