Add other woody herbs like a sprig of fresh rosemary or sage along with the thyme for a more complex herbal aroma.
Sauté 8 ounces of sliced cremini or button mushrooms after the bacon and before the other vegetables. Remove them from the pot and add them back in for the last 30 minutes of simmering.
For a richer, creamier gravy, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes along with the garlic for a gentle background heat.

This stew is a complete meal on its own, but it's excellent served with crusty bread, buttermilk biscuits, or Southern-style cornbread to soak up the delicious gravy. A simple green salad on the side can also provide a fresh contrast.
The easiest way is to remove the lid and let the stew simmer gently for an additional 10-15 minutes to reduce. Alternatively, you can make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then slowly whisking it into the simmering stew until it reaches your desired thickness.
