This reply is for Betsy in Tucson, AZ . I have my mother's old Betty Crocker cookbook from 1952 and the recipe for Pioneer Macaroni and cheese in it and in my 1956 edition are different. I'm enclosing both of them.
1952 version
Place in alternating layers in buttered 12 x 7 1/2 x 2" baking dish the following:
Boiled Macaroni (8 oz. uncooked)
dots of butter (2 tbsp. in all)
1 1/4 cups cut-up sharp cheese (1/2" cubes) (1/3 lb.)
salt (3/4 tsp. in all)
pepper (1/4 tsp. in all)
2 cups milk
Sprinkle with paprika
Bake until golden brown on top. Serve hot from baking dish...garnished, if desired, with parsley sprigs, pimiento strips, pepper rings, etc.
Temperature: 350 degrees (moderate oven)
Time: Bake 40 min.
Amount: 6 to 8 servings
1956 version
4 cups hot drained Boiled Macaroni (8 oz. uncooked)
dots of butter (2 tbsp in all)
1 1/4 cups cut-up sharp cheese (1/2" cubes) (1/2 lb.)
salt (1 tsp. in all)
pepper (1/4 tsp. in all)
Combine the following and pour over the above mixture:
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups milk
Sprinkle with paprika
Bake until golden brown on top. Serve hot from baking dish...garnished if desired, with parsley springs, pimiento strips, pepper rings, etc.
Temperature: 350 degrees (moderate oven)
Time: Bake 40 to 50 min.
Amount: 6 to 8 servings
They also have a Lumberjack Macaroni and cheese that sounded pretty good:
Spread out on hot large platter -- Boiled Macaroni (8 oz. uncooked) and sprinkle with 2 cups grated American cheese (1/2 lb.), 2 to 4 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce, 1/4 cup chili sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Pour over all 3/4 cup piping hot melted butter. Mix with 2 forks until sauce is creamy. Serve at once on hot plates. Amount: 6 servings.
Couldn't find one in either book with hamburger meat but I would imagine you could brown your hamburger meat and add to either recipe successfully.
