Loaded Moussaka Inspired Beef Potatoes

Crispy potatoes topped with beef mince, softened aubergine, creamy cheese sauce and melted cheddar. All the comforting flavours of moussaka turned into an easy, cosy dinner that feels hearty without being too heavy. Lean beef mince keeps the dish lighter while still giving plenty of flavour but lean lamb mince can be used instead for a more traditional moussaka flavour, although it will be slightly higher in fat.

Notes

5% beef mince keeps the dish lighter while still giving plenty of flavour. Lamb mince can be used instead for a more traditional moussaka flavour. Feta crumbled over the top works really well for extra salty flavour. Dice the aubergine fairly small so it softens properly and blends into the sauce rather than staying spongy.

Roux
I’d avoid using lighter butter spreads like Flora for the roux if possible, as the higher water content can make the sauce split or stay thinner rather than turning silky and smooth. Proper butter works best here.

  • If your sauce looks lumpy at first, keep whisking once the milk is added it usually smooths out as it heats.

  • For an easier shortcut version, you can skip the roux and mix 40-60g light soft cheese (per serves 2) loosened with a splash of hot milk instead. It won’t taste quite as traditional, but still gives a creamy topping with less effort.
