Coconut Curried Green Bean Casserole
Enjoy a modern, savory, and aromatic twist on the classic American side dish, replacing the traditional cream-of-mushroom soup base with a rich, spiced coconut milk sauce. Instead of the classic's creamy, comforting flavors, this version offers a more complex and vibrant profile with a hint of sweetness, fragrant spices, and brighter, fresher taste.
