I'm part greek, & I remember my grandfather making something like this! Next time I'm baking three eggplants, 2 were not enough, we love eggplant. My family finished this whole dish, no leftovers. This was truly delicious!
Excellent!

I varied the recipe just a bit-no allspice (I only had garam masala around-it has cloves too amongst the other sweet spices), used about 1 teaspoon of oregano and ground cinnamon instead of stick. The baking of the eggplant really brings out the texture and the sweetness of the vegetable. I also used feta in the custard-reggiano didn't seem quite right. I find the saltiness cuts through the richess of the eggs/milk and matches the flavors of the eggplant and meat mixture. It's really a good recipe-even with my changes.
Tastes Better on the 2nd Day

I'm glad I read all the review comments before I started cooking. I grilled my eggplant on my George Foreman grill also, and made sure to make the Custard sauce first to have time to cool. It is an easy recipe and delicious. I managed to find ground lamb, and used that instead of beef. I will definitely be making this dish again!
Excellent

This is what Moussaka is supposed to be. No potatoes, no feta cheese. Of course you should use ground lamb instead of the beef, but whose kids will eat that?
Easy and tasty

The combination of all the spices really make this one of the best moussaka recipies I have ever tried! Sometimes, to save on calories, I omit the custard and simply grate a bit of parmesan cheese on the top, instead.
It wasw graet

My guests took the recipe home with them. It was really yummy, but it would have tasted even better if I had added more eggplants.
It took lots of time, but was worth every minute!

I just began cooking two months ago, and this was by far the most ambitious recipe I've tried. For me, preparation took over two hours...before putting the moussaka in the oven for an hour! But when it came out, it was gorgeous and delicious. My fiance and I ate it like ravenous wolves (though to be fair, we were very hungry by the time it was finished cooking), and I can't wait to have more for leftovers. It was great!
Mousaka knocks your socks off!

I received rave reviews for this dish. I added an extra 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, but other than that, followed it to the letter. YUM! It will store beautifully in the refrigerator for 2 days after cookin. I also had to freeze the initial dish without adding the custard. Then I thawed it out and added the custard and baked as per instructions.
Really tasty

This was a hit- and can easily serve a crowd (side of greek salad and your meal is set). I exchanged ground turkey for beef and used low fat milk- turned out great and still delicious.
Moussaka - better than I thought it would be.

This is a great recipe and if you have the time it is well worth it. at first glance it seems complicated, but it is really very easy, it is just time consuming. I got the best response from the people at my table, they loved it.
Something new for me

I made this for my aunts birthday and she loved it! I would definately cut the eggplant thick and double the amount suggested. Always helps to have extra.

Although I still prefer Moussaka made with ground lamb, this dish is definitely a winner. Very comforting and hearty for those cold winter months.
Great Greek

very tasty...taste like the moussaka in greece. The eggplant takes a while to cook if you're going to make a lot...i used the george foreman grill to grill the eggplant which made it go faster..
very good

Since I doubled this dish it was a huge amount of work. I made one tray without meat for our vegans. My husband who is a bit picky on his compliments loved this dish. I am glad I started it 2 days in advance. It was a complete success everyone else thought it was awesome. After reading some of the other reviews I look forward to making it again with the replacement suggestions some of you made. Thank you
