Moussaka is a traditional Greek dish made with ground meat and eggplant. Any ground meat can be used but I used beef. A lot of Moussaka recipes do not use potatoes but I did. This recipe took a bit more prep time than usual but it was well worth it.

Sierra-style comfort food: moussaka with rice. Add a (small!) pinch of cinnamon to the meat sauce as an optional kick.

I find Moussaka to be a small labor of love, but the result is definitely a crowd pleaser. This Greek version includes layers of potatoes, meat, and eggplant that are topped with a Béchamel (white) sauce. Each of the layers is separately cooked (hence the small labor) before being combined for the final baking. Enjoy this with a side Greek salad and a glass of wine. Opa!

Moussaka is a very common dish you can find everywhere in Serbia. Originates from Greece where they make it with lamb and eggplant.

Moussaka comes in many variations. One version uses white sauce, another uses lamb, some are layered and others are not. I fell in love with the Greek style when I first tried some.You can add in vegetables such as kabocha squash and potatoes, or eggplant and zucchini and it will still be delicious. Recipe by Nooko

This is one of my family's favorite dishes.Since I used a minimal amount of oil, it's on the lighter side.I used a 28 x 21 x 5 cm heatproof dish in the picture.Please adjust the baking time depending on your oven. The dish will be hot after microwaving, so please be careful.Topping moussaka with pizza cheese is also delicious. Recipe by SIVKO
