| Yield: | 6 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (18×24-inches) Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
- 4 cups cauliflowerets
- 1 cup pasteurized processed cheese sauce
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- 2 ice cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

- Bring up sides of foil; fold down two times. Double fold both ends of foil to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until cauliflowerets are at desired texture. Open packet carefully by cutting along top folds with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape. Stir to coat evenly.
- To make Fiery Bell Pepper Cheese Sauce, add 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes with chopped bell pepper.
- Substitute Broccoli Florets for the Cauliflowerets or use a mixture of the two.
- Cooking in Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil packets infuses flavors. Center veggies on foil & top with cheese sauce. Bring up sides and ends, then fold, leaving space at top.

Reviews
I tried it exactly as written and it was good but the cheese sauce was so watery. I just watched the video of tips from Utokia on how to make this and she did not include the 2 ice cubes that are in this recipe. Nothing like watching the video after you have made it. I may try this again without the ice cubes. It is great for clean up.
