Moussaka originated in the Middle East and was brought over to Greece (and slightly tweaked) in the 1920's. Our family has enjoyed the Greek version of this one-dish recipe for generations... it is loved by kids and grandparents alike. A fun change from the typical Italian lasagna, it includes ground lamb, aromatic spices, and a fluffy béchamel topping. Enjoy!
