Thicker sauce, caramelize the onions, add a little tomato paste.

Cook each ingredient individually. Proper caramelize the onions and soften the carrots. Brown the beef, don't just cook it until it's no longer pink but cook it until all the water evaporates and it fries in its own fat. Use worshesershire. Use more salt. Make a roux gravy out of the beef drippings rather than packaged powder garbage. Freshly grated sharp cheddar on/in the mash.
