Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8 inch square baking pan. Combine ground beef, oats, 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, onion, Parmesan cheese, egg, Worcestershire, and pepper; mix well. Separate mixture into two equal parts. Shape each into a patty about 7 inches in diameter. Place stuffing choices on one patty to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with other patty.
