Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 3 inch baking pan. Combine ground beef, oats, 1 cup of the sauce, onions, Parmesan cheese, eggs, Worcestershire and pepper. Mix well. Separate mixture into 2 equal parts.

Shape each into a large patty, about 8 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches high. Place stuffing choices on one patty to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with other patty. Pinch sides together to enclose stuffing; smooth edges into rounded loaf. Place into pan. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until meat is done. Top loaf with some sauce, the Mozzarella cheese. Serves 8.
