In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage, breaking it up into little bits. Reduce the heat to medium and push the sausage to the sides of the pan, add the onion and garlic to the center and cook until tender, 6-8 minutes. Mix into the sausage and remove the pan from the heat.
Preheat broiler. Combine cream cheese with half of mozzarella and parm. Stir in the oregano and then fold in the sausage mixture. Spread into a casserole dish.
