Brown the meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the stew will help develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't crowd the pan and steam.
Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add flavor, color, and texture to your stew. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
Season the stew well: Season the stew with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Some good choices include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
Let the stew simmer: Simmering the stew for at least 1 hour will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: Crusty bread or mashed potatoes are the perfect accompaniments to bachelor stew. They will help to soak up the delicious broth.
