Zucchini Moussaka image

I found this recipe in a cookbook I picked up at a thrift shop for ten cents. It's called "Food Writers Favorites-Quick & Easy Entrees." I made a few small changes and it came out great, plus it was a cinch to make. Next time I'll try it with ground turkey or chicken instead of the lamb, which was harder to find, more expensive, and definitely higher in fat.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed this moussaka. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced.

This was the worst moussaka I've ever had. The zucchini was mushy and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly but my zucchini moussaka didn't turn out well. It was too watery and the flavors didn't meld together.

The zucchini moussaka was good, but not great. I found it to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.
