Cooking with fresh ingredients:
Fry the bacon. Then brown the lamb in hot oil in a large pot. Stir in parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and 4 cups of beef broth. Simmer, covered, for as long as you can wait, or until meat is tender. Add vegetables, cover and continue simmering  for about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are done. Add more water if needed. Wisk instant potatoes into stew; continue simmering for about 3 minutes. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve in bowls with Irish soda bread or cornbread

Cooking with dehydrated ingredients:
During the day re-hydrate lamb and vegetables. Put meat and vegetables in a 3 quart pot with 4 cups of water and bring to boil. Oil is not needed, but it does add to the calorie count.  Add bullion powder, herbs, salt and pepper. Cook until ready to eat (20-30 minutes).
Add more water if needed - may require a cup or two depending on how much water is absorbed or evaporated. Wisk instant potatoes into stew  and add "Bacon Bits"; continue simmering for about 3 minutes. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve in bowls with Irish soda bread or cornbread.

Bake bread in advance or at the same time as you make the stew
