Oh just looking at your pictures makes me hungry, I love moussaka but never gave it a go at home, I can't wait to try it (and I don't mind spending some time in the kitchen for such delicious recipes)

This looks so terribly delicious! I can't wait to make this for my husband, he is a huge lamb fan, so I know he will love it!

I love a good moussaka! Your recipe looks so amazing, with the eggplant layers. I am going to make this one very soon. So comforting this time of year!

How fantastic! Yes it is probably more common to add potato as well, but personally I have generally preferred it without (plus it's one less step). And agree beef works just fine but I will always prefer lamb.

It's one of those dishes we can not have for a few months when it's warmer but then fall back in love with it again when we next have it.

I actually made moussaka for lunch today! I kid you not! Although mine was a bit different. I put potato slices on the bottom and used beef because minced lamb is hard to come by here in Italy but I love it with lamb more! Great that you used your Dutch oven. I have one but didn't think to use it for moussaka! Will definitely use it next time!

I haven't had moussaka in ages and I'd forgotten how much I love it until I saw yours with all those lovely layers!

Thanks, Michelle. I went without it for a few years myself, then have most definitely got back in to it the last few years, we all like it so much!

I love all the flavors going on, I too just love lamb and moussaka in general. I'm in love with your blue pot too, and you've certainly got your young 'un trained right 🙂

Thanks, Sue. Yes it does sometimes amuse me what my toddler eats (and doesn't) - another of his favorites is a duck, turnip and bacon casserole with quinoa! I personally don't think this smells much of lamb at all, but then I do love lamb so I may be biased. All the more for you, though, if others won't eat it!

Thanks! And so true, Nancy, it is time well spent. Yes I have sometimes made it in a lower dish but often find I mis-judge and it spills over, and we can't lose it! I do also sometimes make it with about half the quantity of lamb and a bit less onion etc so the layers are thinner, but there is something nice about a thick chunk, as you say.

I've always made mine in a baking/casserole dish...I love that yours is so thick and made in a dutch oven/french roaster. There's just something about those thick, comforting wedges you've presented...so delicious! Thank you for sharing your incredible recipe with all of us celebrating the anniversary of Fiesta Friday!

And you managed to capture it in photos . . usually my casserol-ey dishes end up looking like mush, but I can see all of the different ingredients in yours ! I will have a manly sized portion please! Also I am tickled that you have a toddler that eats moussaka! I couldn't get my son OR my mother to try lamb even if it's got the most delicious tomato sauce and cheese atop it because they just don't like the smell. Oh well, their loss I suppose. Thank you for bringing to the party.

Thanks, Hilda, it really is a great dish and agree it is both great for a crowd or any time. You just get to have more if you don't have company 🙂
