You could vary this infinitely, i used a lot of meat and carrots and chopped the aubergines to suit my son's preference

looks very good Ray!!!

Moussaka is always a hit around here, thanks Mini!!

I LOVE moussaka!

Did you use ground lamb, Ray?

Good question Lee, I guess I just assumed lamb, but the wife says she has used ground beef before.

I use beef because I get in bulk and cheaper

I've made it with both and love both.

Your yogurt sauce looks wonderful, Ray!

Lee

You know I have never tasted this, which is crazy because Greek food is my favorite! But every time I go to eat Greek there are other dishes that scream for my attention first! One day though, because I am SURE that I would LOVE it!

Great dish Mini!!
