In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the diced bacon until crispy. Add the sausage slices and brown them.
Remove the bacon and sausage. In the rendered fat, brown the lamb cubes on all sides. Set the lamb aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and crushed garlic until softened. Add the tomato paste, stir well, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
In a large baking dish, layer the white beans, lamb, sausage, and bacon. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the sprigs of thyme and bay leaves.

Serve hot with fresh bread or a side salad to complement the flavors.
