In a large non-reactive skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, sweet pepper, green peppers, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, and Italian seasoning; cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 350°. Meanwhile in large bowl, combine Italian sausage, ground beef, salt, pepper, spaghetti sauce, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and tomatoes, and mix thoroughly. Combine onion-seasoning mixture and mix. Place in meatloaf pan and top with mozzarella cheese.
