Moussaka with Dairy-Free Béchamel

I had bought some ground beef but didn't have anything in mind to make from it. I didn't want to make the usual burgers, meat balls, or meatloaf so I went online to see what else I could make with ground beef and found a Moussaka recipe. I had never made moussaka before, but the ones I tried when I was in greece were delicious, so worth a try.
