1. In a separate large skillet, cook Italian sausage and ground beef until browned. Drain as much as possible (or you'll end up with floating grease in your soup - this is why I always do a separate pan, and drain the heck outta the meat before adding it into the soup pot). Remove from skillet and spoon meat onto plate lined with a paper towel.
2. In a large soup pot, saute onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until onions are translucent. Add in meat. Add thyme, brown sugar, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes. Add noodles, and simmer until noodles are cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and Mozzarella. Serve with freshly sliced french bread if desired.
