I did not like this at all. Not sure if I missed something in the recipe or if it was really that bad. Ive had Moussaka in restaurants and loved it so I know what its supposed to taste like. I would not make this again

THe concept was interesting, but the result disappointing. THis took a lot of work, but seemed dry and tastless. Have tried a baked, not fried moussaka which seemed to do lower-fat better.

My boyfriend's brother hates eating veggies, and dislikes eggplant. I never told what was in it and he loved it!

First time making moussaka and this wasn't what I remembered from Greece. I learned a few things making this and might try a different recipe next time. I sliced my zucchini too thick, so its flavor was too strong in each bite. I almost burnt the zucchini and eggplant on the grill (its too far from the kitchen) so need to do the first couple things one at a time instead of all at once. I cooked the potatoes on the grill in a grill dish (don't know what it's called, a square metal dish with holes to BBQ with) and that worked great so they didn't overcook. Not enough nutmeg in here - couldn't even taste it and I used more than a pinch. Don't need to use olive oil to cook the ground beef. My sauce didn't come out great. Not sure why. It wasn't as thick as I expected.

This is a good moussaka recipe but bland and a bit cumbersome. I used only 2 lg eggplant, no zucchini. Vegetable Changes:I sliced the eggplant in to 1/4 in slices, spritzed with olive oil spray and baked in a 400 oven for 10 minutes on a parchment lined pan. I boiled the potato slices for 4 minutes. Bechamel was good and only change I made was way more than a pinch of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon is more like it. Meat/Sauce changes: Peeled the tomatoes. Added 1 t cinnamon, 1/4 t ground allspice, and a pinch of ground clove. Added two cloves of garlic, minced to the sautee. Omitted parsley because I didnt feel like going back to the garden and my son brought me cilantro by mistake when I sent him. Added 1 T tomato paste and a 1/4 c red wine. I thought sauce looked runny so I thickened with a slurry of 2T water and 2 t cornstarch. WIth my changes it is a 5 stars. It makes an enormous quantity, but that is OK because it freezes well. I took the leftovers, and chilled in fridge. I cut into serving size slabs and wrapped in a double layer of wax paper. Shoved all the wrapped slabs in a labelled ziploc bag. Now I have excellent lunches to go. Take a slab to work and it defrost in time to heat nicely in a microwave.

This was so delicious! My husband decided he was making a Greek eggplant appetizer (this was his ONLY plan for dinner) so I had to come up with something quick that would complement his choice. We enjoyed this so much! I forgot to add the egg yolk, but it didn't seem to affect the outcome. My family was very happy with this dish, and my husband's appetizer came out great also (in case you were wondering). Thanks for sharing this Greek treat, we'll make it again!

This tasted good, but it was pretty watery, and the topping didn't set as well as I'm used to when I order it in restaurants. I used fresh tomatoes and wonder if that is why, or whether the zuccini made it so. I made it without potatoes because I didn't have any in the house. Perhaps they would have absorbed the liquid. My husband liked it, but I think I won't bother to make it again. It was too much work for too little reward.

This was Great! My husband kept saying..."What is that?" A casserole, I answered...While he was eating, he said "OK, this is really good, you can tell me what it's called now." Lol. I didn't have eggplant, but grilled zucchini & tomatoes from my garden. Can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch. Mmmm
