Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, Italian sausage, bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic, egg, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper by hand.
Form into 16 meatballs approximately 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) in diameter (can be made a day ahead, stored in refrigerator). Coat bottom of a 9 x 12-inch (23 x 30 cm) baking dish with tomato sauce and line with meatballs.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Turn each meatball upside down and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Use an instant read thermometer to confirm meatballs are fully cooked. (160°F / 71°C internal temperature)
