cottage pie

[1dilemma]

Please could someone tell me the secret of getting a really nice gravy around the meat rather than and insipid meat juice sauce (hoping that makes sense)

I make a bisto gravy stock (nice & thick) and pour it into the mince, onion & veg mix then leave it to simmer/cook down for about 10 mins before putting the meat into the ovenproof dish

That sounds nice

It is yummy. Mmm - I want cottage pie now
