2 to 3 large eggplants, oil, salt and pepper to taste
Meat Sauce
1 large onion, diced
2-6 cloves garlic, crushed
500g beef mince
400g can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil
Bechamel Sauce
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour (or gluten-free equivalent)
2 cups of milk
1 egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup pizza cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Slice the eggplant into rounds, about 1cm (1/4in) thick. If you are using small eggplant you can omit this step. Sprinkle lightly with salt and leave for an hour for them to sweat. Pat down with a clean dish towel to remove the moisture. This will remove any bitterness. Lightly brush or spray the eggplant slices with oil, and then grill or pan-fry until browned on each side. Set aside.
Meat Sauce Add olive oil to the bottom of a large heavy-based pot over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic and when they begin to soften add the beef and cook until the meat has browned. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and spices. If possible, leave the sauce to simmer, uncovered, for twenty to thirty minutes.
Bechamel Sauce Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Tip in the flour and whisk well until combined. Slowly add milk, a little at a time, stirring all the while to avoid lumps. Keep stirring over medium heat until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Break the egg into a cup, beat lightly and then add a ladleful of hot sauce, stirring continuously. Tip this mixture back into the saucepan and stir well. Add the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir and taste. Remove from heat.
Add a layer of eggplant to line your baking dish. Add some meat sauce over the eggplant, then top with another layer of eggplant. Continue until all of your eggplant and sauce are used up. Pour bechamel sauce over the top of the casserole, then sprinkle pizza cheese over the top.
Cook at 350F for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the Moussaka sit for 10 minutes before serving.

This recipe comes from my Great Great Grandmother and possibly originated in her native Wales.
In my Gran’s house it was a great stand-by if unexpected visitors turned up for lunch or even in the evening where in those days supper was always offered to guests along with a cup of tea. In Gran’s later years family members would look after her during the day. Sometimes I would go down to give Mum a break and Gran’s eyes would light up every time I would offer Cheese & Onion on toast for lunch. Years later when Mum had to go into care in a nursing home her daughter Lel travelled over 100kms to visit her every day and would regularly cook Mum’s favourite meals and take them to her so she didn’t have to always eat hospital food. Mum’s eyes would light up just like her mothers whenever Lel cooked this.
Whilst it is a family favourite and very tasty it does not look particularly appetizing and I have found that if you have not been born into the family then usually you will not even try it.

Chopped onion
Chopped tomato
knob of butter
Diced cheese (we always used Kraft Cheddar - mainly because it was pretty well the only cheese readily available - anyway you would need a cheese that melts easily)
Some milk
Salt and pepper

1. Put all ingredients into small saucepan or small frypan and stir over low heat until creamy. 
2. Serve straight away on hot buttered toast.
