Chicago Style Deep-Dish Pizza image

An easy to fix deep-dish pizza cooked in a cast-iron skillet. To be sure pizza doesn't stick, I give it a shot of non-stick spray. For pizza sauce, I recommend Steve's Recipe #8497 and I haven't used refrigerated store-bought dough since.

1/2 lb mild Italian sausage
1 red bell peppers or 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips

2 tablespoons pepperoni, thinly sliced and cut into strips
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
