One Pot Cheeseburger Casserole

Right now, my most consistently popular recipe that I've posted is the One Pot Spaghetti (recipe from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures). It's insanely popular. So I'm back with a new one pot recipe that I've found from No. 2 Pencil. This one is a little variation and so delicious and cheesy! You can really vary how it tastes with whatever you choose to top it with. I had a Pin-friend tell me that she had subbed BBQ sauce for the ketchup and it was extraordinary, so if y'all make this one with variations, please comment and let me know how it tasted.

3. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, water, ketchup, mustard, pasta, and a little more salt. Bring to a boil.
