Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. If desired, seed wax peppers; cut wax and bell peppers into 2-in. pieces. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add peppers and onions. Cook and stir until tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, water, garlic, bay leaves and seasonings; heat through.
  2. Meanwhile, in another large skillet, brown sausages. Transfer to an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with pepper mixture.
  3. Cover and bake until a thermometer inserted in sausage reads 160°, 35-40 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Serve on buns.
