Can I use water instead of milk in this green bean casserole
We don’t recommend subbing the coconut milk for water in this recipe. It just wouldn’t turn out. And you don’t even have to worry about the coconut flavor if that’s your hesitation. The garlic masks it really well. We often hear from readers that they couldn’t even taste coconut. If for some reason you really can’t do coconut milk, you could try another nut milk. It won’t be quite as creamy but should work.
Bacon green bean casserole
Well, it just wouldn’t be total comfort food without bacon, so we added it in to this dairy free version. It gives this green bean casserole the perfect salty, savory flavor that will have everyone coming back for more!
