This looks like hamburger casserole, or "American goulash" or "American chop suey", New England comfort food". Here is a standard traditional recipe which would allow some seconds for 120 people.

36 lbs. Ground meat- can be all beef or part turkey or pork
4-5 pounds white onion, diced
OPTIONAL 4 pounds diced bell pepper, any color
1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
12 lb Elbow Macaroni
2 46 oz. Bottle of Tomato Juice (or can)
12 cans crushed tomatoes, 28 oz.
12 cups Natural Tomato Sauce
1 quart ketchup
salt and pepper to taste

Some people add fresh herbs, or Italian herb mix, or garlic. Some people like it really juicy and add a lot more tomato juice. Some people top with cheese, it would take about 4-5 pounds for a nice sprinkle.

Instructions

Bring water to boil (you need at least 6 gallons; allow 20 minutes per gallon , so do several pots) and get your pasta cooking, meanwhile;
Brown the hamburger and onions/veggies together with the Worcestershire sauce. Drain fat off.
Add the hamburger mixture to cooked and drained pasta in a large pot.
Set over low heat and add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato juice
Add ketchup.
