For the sauce and noodles: Combine the bottom beef, Italian sausage, and onion during a large, deep sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat off the pan, then stir in garlic, spaghetti sauce , oregano, pepper, and salt. Heat through then reduce heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer while you prepare the remainder of the ingredients. Bring an outsized pot of water to a boil and add a fat pinch of salt and swirl of oil (this helps keep the noodles from sticking.) Add the noodles to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes but the package directions. Drain noodles then lay them out on aluminium foil so they'll be able to go later.
For the filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the pot cheese , egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.

To layer: Spread a really scant layer of meat sauce on rock bottom of the pan. Top with 4 noodles laid lengthwise within the pan. Spread half the cheese on top followed by 4 more noodles. Spread half the remaining sauce over the noodles. Spread all of the pot cheese mixture on top of the sauce, followed by 3 more noodles. Finish with the remaining sauce and cheese. Bake within the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
