Peel onions and cut them into rings. Cut bacon and mead ends into thick slices. Cut tomatoes a little smaller. Layer onions, goulash, bacon, mead and tomatoes in a large roasting pan. Mix sour cream, cream and ketchup and season with salt, pepper and thyme.
Pour sauce over it and braise with lid in the preheated oven on the lower shelf (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 2 hours. Braise the last 30 minutes without lid. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and garnish. Serve with baguette or farmhouse bread and salad
