Flavors were awesome. I'd make the same changes most mentioned. 2-3 cups milk depending on how much bechemel you want. A fuller layer of potatoes. Pound of lamb (using same seasoning quantities. Next time I will add a thicker layer of eggplant. Will absolutely make it again.

My grocery store was out of eggplant, so I just replaced that layer with another layer of potatoes. That actually worked out well as it cut down on the prep time. When it was all said and done, you didn't even notice the eggplant was missing. I also used a full pound of ground lamb instead of the 1/2 pound of ground beef that the recipe calls for. I only did that because that is how it was packaged and I wanted to make sure it all went to good use. I kept the amount of tomato sauce the same but was a little generous with my seasonings just to compensate for the extra meat. This dish turned out amazing and the leftover heated up nicely.

This moussaka was good but very loose. I wanted to try it with the quantities listed & in the future I would add another eggplant and 1/2 pound of meat. We served it with white beans on the side and that helped to thicken it up. It was a very good recipe well received by the family and a picky 7 year old.

This was sooooo good.. I used ground turkey breast instead of hamburg and added a wee but extra wine, cinnamon and oregano because I used the the whole pound of turkey instead of half a pound. If you like moussaka, you should try this, it's bomb diggity but give yourself more like an hour and a half rather than 15 mins to prep as this recipe takes a long time with all the cutting, boiling, baking etc before it even goes in oven.

I thought this was just okay. It really is very labor intensive and requires a TON of prep work. I really love to cook and it even took me an hour to prep everything. I did take the advice of cutting down the milk to 2 cups. It made the sauce much thicker. I also would cut the cinnamon down quite a bit. I did not do that and I wish that I had. Each bite just had too much in it. All together it was alright..I don’t think I will be making this again! Sorry Melissa! Still love your show!

Delicious but work intensive. I used half the cinnamon called for and no nutmeg but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. I don't know how one can get all the prep work done in 15 minutes as it took me almost an hour and I am a seasoned cook. It was worth it in the end, though. Makes a large casserole so next time I'll invite the neighbors or cut ingredients in half.
Just wondering...has anyone tried making this without pre-cooking the potatoes and roasting the eggplant? Seems to me that that would cut the prep time quite a bit.

I made this and my family loved it. I wasn't sure how they were going to respond to the name but they enjoyed it. It was a little time consuming but I think most of that is because we are making the switch from canned and boxed dinners and I am having to learn as I go about how to properly cut and dice veggies and use heat settings etc. Will definitely make this recipe again!
