6 lbs cooked and drained ground beef
4 - 16 oz boxes of Bow Tie Rotini, or your favorite shaped noodles - cooked and drained per package directions
4 - 6 oz packages of pepperoni
12 cups of shredded cheese
4 - 14 oz jars of pizza sauce
2 cups Parmesan Cheese

Set out 4 - 9x13 baking pans.
In a large stockpot or huge mixing bowl gently stir together pre-cooked ground beef, precooked noodles, 8 cups of shredded cheese, 4 jars of pizza sauce, and the contents of 2 packages of pepperoni slices.
Fill each 9x13 baking pan approximately 3/4 full of baked Pizza Casserole Oven Bake mixture.
Top each 9x13 pan with one additional cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, and approx 3 oz (1/2 a pack) of pepperoni slices.

Allow your meals to cool completely before placing in the freezer.
Wrap each 9x13 pan with two layers of foil.
Label the top of each pan with recipe name and date.
Wrap each 9x13 pan with a layer of plastic wrap.
Set each pan to freeze in the freezer. Do not stack the pans on top of one another until each pan is individually frozen.

Set the desired pans of Pizza Casserole Oven Bake out in the refrigerator the evening before you'd like to serve.
Preheat your oven to 375 (oven times may vary).
Remove plastic wrap and one layer of foil.
Place Pizza Casserole in preheated oven for 1 hour or until bubbly and hot. Remove last layer of foil and allow to cook for 10 additional minutes.
Allow your hot Pizza Casserole to slightly cool on counter for 5-10 minutes before serving.

If cooking your Pizza Casserole from completely frozen (this happens in real life :), remove plastic wrap and one layer of foil and place frozen Pizza Casserole in a preheated oven at 400 (oven temps may vary). Cook for up to 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until hot and bubbly. Remove last layer of foil and cook uncovered an additional 10 minutes as needed.
