Ingredients:  
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ½ pounds hot or sweet Italian sausage (8 sausages)
3 red or green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into ¼-inch-wide strips
1 large onion, halved and sliced thin
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (8-inch) Italian sub rolls, split lengthwise
Directions:
Directions:
1. Heat 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add oil and heat until just smoking. Cook sausages until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes, flipping sausages halfway through cooking.

2. Distribute bell peppers and onion around sausages. Add ⅓ cup water, cover, and cook until sausages register 160 to 165 degrees and vegetables are softened, 7 to 9 minutes, flipping sausages halfway through cooking.

3. Transfer sausages to cutting board, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest while finishing vegetables. Increase heat to medium-high and cook without stirring until liquid has evaporated and vegetables are lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire, oregano, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Halve sausages crosswise and serve with rolls and pepper-onion mixture.

Personal Notes:
No dish reminds me of Nonna and Nonnu (Faye and Walt Pioli) more than sausage and peppers. Dad (John) and Jake would always ask for it when we visited them while they lived in Oceanside. It's a classic Italian-American family favorite.
