How to Make Beef N Potato Moussaka
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried mint (optional), 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- In a separate saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
- Cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together a small amount of the hot sauce with 2 large eggs. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and additional salt to taste.
- Grease a 3-quart shallow baking dish.
- Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the baking dish.
- Top with half of the Parmesan sauce, followed by the entire beef mixture.
- Arrange the remaining potato slices over the meat.
- Pour the remaining Parmesan sauce evenly over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, for 60-75 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
