Kittencal’s Greek Moussaka, Being Greek born I have tried my share of moussaka recipes over the years, this is a basic easy recipe I have been making for years and still make often, it has remained a huge family favorite, I have served this many times to guests for a dinner parties and always receive rave reviews! —the traditional Greek moussaka usually has about 1 teaspoon cinnamon added to the meat mixture, you might want to add it in my family prefers it without — you may also want to “sweat” the eggplant slices with a bit of salt sprinkled on for 1 hour before using, My favorite recipe! I do add cinnamon! My husband asks every week for this! Love love love this recipe! Best out there!, This was so delicious!!! I did add cinnamon to the meat mixture because I love the fusion of flavors when I do that! I also took one large potato and sliced it very thin lengthwise. I then took the raw potato slices and tossed them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I then layered the potato slices over the first layer of eggplant. This gave the final dish a little bit more density and it tasted spectacular! Thank you so much for this recipe. I will definitely make this again; my husband loved it as well!
