Beef Moussaka is a comforting dish from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly associated with Greece. This layered casserole features seasoned ground beef simmered with onion, garlic, and tomatoes, combined with slices of eggplant and potatoes. The dish is topped with a creamy béchamel sauce enriched with milk, butter, and flour, and baked to golden perfection. Rich in protein from the beef and nutrients from the eggplant and potatoes, it offers fiber, vitamins, and minerals essential for a balanced diet. However, its béchamel sauce and generous use of oils make it higher in fat and calories, often qualifying it as a heavier dish. Enjoyed in moderation, Beef Moussaka is a satisfying meal showcasing robust flavors and rich textures, ideal for sharing at gatherings or indulging in a taste of traditional Mediterranean cooking.
