How to Make Ultimate Moussaka, my version

Moussaka, my version. Prepare the Greek Moussaka meat sauce. The traditional Greek moussaka recipe calls for either lamb mince or a mix of lamb and beef. But if you can't handle its strong flavour and prefer a lighter version try substituting with good quality beef or veal mince.

You can certainly make vegetarian moussaka, but I chose to add meat. As with many Mediterranean dishes, lamb is often the preferred meat of choice, but since I wasn't raised on lamb, I prefer to use ground beef. You can serve this casserole hot or cold, but I much prefer to serve it warm.
