One Skillet Cheesy Hamburger Pasta

I have been digging all the one pot/skillet meals that have been popping up on food blogs over the last year or so. I made a One Pot Cheeseburger Casserole and it's different than this recipe, but a bit similar. I prefer this recipe to that one. I think my family does, too. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the other one. It's delicious too, but this one is definitely a favorite. I've begun to roast cherry or grape tomatoes whenever I use them because Nick & Matt don't like that version of tomatoes very much. They don't mind them roasted and neither do I. I simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and broil (I guess I should say I broil them, huh?) them for about 5 minutes until they have browned a bit. In the pictures, you'll see I hadn't roasted them - it was my first time making the recipe. Since then we have roasted the tomatoes and it is definitely perfect on this pasta dish!
