Keto Moussaka

Growing up I was not a big fan of moussaka – I remember when I was in school and had lunch in the cafeteria I always stayed away from it! 🤦‍♀️ It was so heavy – mince, potatoes, béchamel sauce with flour… I still frown when I think about it today! 😖

BUT I have found an amazing alternative which I like to call keto moussaka – less carbs and more cheese 🧀 (and aubergines 🍆 😏)
