Dutch Oven Irish Stew - Perfect St Patricks Day Grub!

Prep the veggies by dicing the bacon, potatoes, carrots, and onions, and mincing the garlic.

Heat the Dutch oven on the Kamado Joe kettle.

Render the bacon fat in the Dutch oven for about 7-8 minutes until cooked down.

Add 1.5 to 2 diced onions to the bacon and sweat down for about 6-7 minutes until soft.

Add 3 minced garlic cloves and some flour to the onions.

Add the chopped potatoes and carrots to the pot.

Pour in 600-700 ml of beef stock.

Add a few sprigs of thyme, salt (about 0.5 to 1 teaspoon), and pepper (about 0.25 to 0.5 teaspoon).

Add a whole can of Guinness to the pot.

Set up a grill grate above the stew and place the mutton on top to smoke for about an hour.

After smoking, add the mutton to the stew and simmer for about 2 hours until thickened and softened.
