A nice surprise in this moussaka recipe is the touch of cinnamon, just enough to give it a fresh taste. This dish would serve nicely as a vegetarian entree.—Marjorie Palla, Moraga, California

    If you want moussaka use this recipe:https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Beef-and-Potato-MoussakaIt is closer to the real thing than this is.

    This is by no way moussaka. This is an eggplant sandwich. Don't use this recipe if you want authentic moussaka since the real thing has a bechamel sauce and potatoes.
