gently cook the onions - whilst your faffing cutting up the carrots, about two carrots into tiny peices.
pop the carrots in with the onions and let cook gently for a while, whilst you sort out the mince.
You need a pound of mince meat - tip it in the pan and with a wooden sppon break it down and kleep doing this so it doesn't go stringy.
let the meat brown all over - then boil kettle and make stock 10 floz and mix into the stock two tablespoons of tommy puree - it must be puree. and mix it well.
season the mince with salt pepper and cinnomon about half a teaspoon.
then sprinle a tablespoon of plain flour over the mince if there is still visable fat I sprinkle some more.
Now pour over the stock and give it all a good mix with the wooden spoon.
let it simmer for about 10 mins and then put in the dish you have for pie.
spread mash pots over the top cook on gas4 for 40 minutes
I have taken to making homemade onion gravy aswell - chop an onion and add that and sugar to the pan and let it cook really slowly for about 15 mins - then sprinke flour over and soem worcester sauce and a pint of stock and let it simmer for 45 minutes - add sage if you like it.
