I have made this 3 times now and each time it gets better as I make it with more love and really do brown that meat- it adds so much depth of taste to the meat sauce. 5 stars

I know this is an older video, but I just have to say that this is the best moussaka I've ever made, or eaten. I have large family with five kids, and it's hard to find dinners that everyone likes. This is one of them, which makes the work of it totally worth it. Thank you!

I cooked this recipe this weekend and it was amazing! For those of you without cinnamon sticks or whole cloves I recommend just using ground cinnamon and clove. Works just fine. Just make sure you put a bit in at a time (1 tablespoon or so) and continuously adjust tasting. Also, I added a bit of nutmeg to my sauce. Besides these minor adjustments due to what I had on hand, this IS AMAZING! My. Bf can’t get enough of it. Fast forward 3 years and my fiancé still requests me to make this recipe!

1 Tbsp is definitely going to be WAY too much. Start at 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/16 of ground cloves and allspice.

Hi Chef Christine, it's Bob Petrowski once more, writing to you from Lima, Peru. I just made your dad's recipe you showed on Moussaka. WOW, fantastic, and better yet on the 2nd day with the leftover that went so fast. The last time I had this dish was 2 years ago in Athen, Greece when the waitress told us, it had just finished in the oven and ready for serving. What a hit that was, as was your fantastic recipe. This is one of those meals, for some reason you can't get enough of. I am looking forward to making for our relatives here in Peru, they heard of it, but never had it, now they will.:) Thanks again, Christine.

This was a fantastic dinner party recipe! My guests just loved it! Said it was the best Moussaka they’ve ever tasted. I prepared everything the day before, except the Béchamel, which I made the day of the dinner and refrigerated it a few hours. This is advisable, as it is time consuming. I added 15-20 minutes to the baking time as it went from fridge to the oven. Must sit for about 40 minutes before serving. Thank you Christine! I will make it again!

Growing up, my Yaya made the most amazing Moussaka! After she passed, no one could find her recipe and though we tried numerous variations over the years, we never got all the way there. Your dad's recipe is the nearest we've gotten! It's soooooo good! I screwed up and didn't let the bechamel thicken quite enough, but it tasted amazing! This is now my go to when I want a little taste of my childhood. Thank you for sharing!

This meat sauce is awesome, thank you. I made a low carb version of moussaka yesterday using this sauce. (I reduced carbs by eliminating the potatoes and replacing the bechamel with 500 g mascarpone, 250 g sour cream and 5 eggs). For convenience, browned the vegetables in a 450° oven. And I added a splash of red wine to the sauce.

I recently made Mousaka for our take-out special and it was a huge hit!! I am very critical of my own cooking, but I have to say I nailed it! With your help. I did add some fresh mint and a touch of cumin too. Your videos have helped reignite my passion for cooking at a time when I almost forgot what it's all about. Thank you Christine!

You’re an amazing chef, and you really taught us how to prepare something and why. Many shows are fun, but eye candy - you don’t really learn anything. Today, watching this, I just learned I don’t actually brown my beef :) It’s very generous of you to share your recipes with us, and I can’t wait to work my way through them. Starting with your lemon potatoes tonight. Thank you!!

I have made this several times now. I am told by people that it's the best moussaka they have ever tasted. I modestly accept that it is. The secret is, as you stress, really browning the meat. I add some cumin and (very little) chilli flakes. For the bechamel, I use a mixture of parmesan and real cheddar, not that orange mess you get in America, not sure about Canada. It's fabulous. Thank you. It does take a lot of clearing up!!😅

My “O&DF” (Oldest & Dearest Friend) I’m 60 so it my version of a “BFF”. Our Moms were best friends so we’ve known each other our entire lives. (59 years! l’m a year older.) Karen’s basically Greek by marriage! She’s fluent in the language, she goes to Greece all the time, she can cook fabulous Greek food. She converted and was married in a Greek Orthodox Church. I have never been able to make any Greek recipe as well as she can! Watching your channel, I’m ready and I feel confident! She comes to visit me semi-annually (For a week or so.) l want to make her some of her favorites. However, she usually winds up cooking it herself after she tells me I’m doing it wrong! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ (Which is fine, l don’t take it to heart.) Her next visit l would really love to surprise her with my newly acquired recipes from you! I’m planning on making your Spanakopita, Pastitsio, Lemon Potatoes and Moussaka! There’s a Lemon Chicken Soup, called, “Avgolemono” that she loves and l’ve tried several recipes, l found online... However, they didn’t quite taste “Authentic”? (Like her’s) I just purchased two of your cookbooks that l found on Amazon, “Fearless in the Kitchen” and “Dish It Out”. I hope there’s a recipe for the Avgolemono in one of them. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with everyone.

It’s so funny, America is the only western country that calls green squash zucchini. Every other western country calls them courgettes. All jokes aside your moussaka looks absolutely fantastic! Recently I’ve had a craving for a good moussaka and I came across your video and by the looks of it this is a really good recipe. Thank you for sharing your family’s moussaka. I can’t wait to make this for my family. I look forward to trying it even though I already know it’s going to be great! Thanks again! Cheers!

Surely the Italians call them zucchini. And in Europe we have aubergines, not eggplants ( melitzane in Greece.)

It's tough to pick between Moussaka and Pastitsio. It really depends on the mood. You can't go wrong either way. Thanks

Thank you so much for posting this recipe and sharing your oven-baking secrets. The local grocery has stopped carrying my olive oil of choice, so it would have been a while before I'd be able to make this, otherwise.The Japanese eggplants (Ichiban, if memory serves me correctly,) are fantastic, and offer the moussaka a delicious, smokey flavor. Yum! Everyone should make this!

Great idea baking the potatoes first!! I'll give that a try tonight and see if my husband notice anything different. He is an Austrian and they love there food! We both love cooking! The only time we have a row is in the kitchen, cause the one nows better than the other! Hugs from a little village called George South Africa!

I’m making this recipe today…just wondering, what’s “cc sauce”? I’ll be using crushed tomatoes, but was just curious. Also, I highly recommend using the Greek or Sicilian oregano…really excellent! Thanks!

My apologies for the late response. CC sauce is my own personal brand of tomato sauce that is available in Canada. Good quality crushed tomatoes are perfect. I hope you have made and enjoyed it.

Yes, Andrew Church, I agree with you. It's rare for me to comment on another Chef, I've made this dish in Greece for years, the beef or traditional lamb should melt in your mouth with the flavours of the sauce, onions and eggplant.

the browning meat first is to maximize the flavour then the slow simmering softens it completely. Thanks for your thoughts.

I am making it today! Will use yellow potato instead, and "young onion". I hope my wife is going to like it, and we will remember her Greek grandmother this way. P.S. I have made your Bechamel sauce as well simultaneously, and I trashed the kitchen "medium low" according to my wife. (I always trash the kitchen thou). Smells good from the oven ... Thank you very much. This is "FAT" version compared to our traditional Serbian meat-potato moussaka. Greetings from Canada.

:-) Dobro, hvala na pitanju. Greks and Serbs were never far apart in many things. Grandma knew where to aim her "arrow", right in achilles heel, so grandpa didn't really stand a chance. Than she healed him with some good cooking. Naturally...
