<< My lord husband grew up in New Hampshire, and his family ate a 
 similar dish.  It was known locally as "American Chop Suey".  A quick 
 Altavista search on that phrase pulled up over 200 hits, several of which 
 were cafeteria menus from public schools in New England.  So it 
 appears to be a commonly used term for that dish in that region.  (And 
 now we can begin the inevitable sub-sub-thread about chop suey being 
 an American invention anyway...)

I grew up in Northern New Jersey. Mom learned a lot of her cooking from my 
Dad's German family, though. The macaroni/ground beef/tomato stuff was a 
feature of my youth, too. Never heard it called American Chop Suey until I 
moved to New England. Where would our church suppers be without it?
And for my 2 cents on potato salad:

Potatoes boiled in skins then peeled,
hard boiled eggs, chopped
celery, diced
lots of celery seed
chives, snipped
mayo thinned with lemon juice
salt and pepper
