Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat; add ground beef; break up into small pieces; brown until no longer pink, about 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover to keep warm.
Add sausage to the skillet; break up; cook until cooked through and no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the ground beef.
Add onion to the skillet; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes; stir in garlic; cook 1 minute.
Stir in tomato paste; cook, stirring to avoid burning, until a deep burgundy color. Add Italian Seasoning, onion powder and white wine to deglaze skillet. Scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the skillet; cook until wine has reduced by half.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce and sugar; bring sauce to a boil. Return the meats back to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately with your favorite cooked pasta. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
