Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease a baking dish with butter or oil.
In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Add ground meat to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Arrange a layer of potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish.
Spread half of the cooked meat over the potatoes. Add another layer of potatoes, followed by the remaining meat, and finish with a final layer of potatoes.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and flour (if using). Pour this mixture evenly over the layered moussaka.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
