Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a pan/skillet, cook ground beef throughly and drain fatty juices. Add diced onion and cook until onion is soft.

Put beef and onion mixture in 13 x 9 or two 9 x 9 tin dishes. Pour cream of mushroom soup over the beef and onions, mix slightly. Layer cheese slices evenly over the beef, onions and mushroom soup. Then add the final layer, rows of frozen tater tots across the top. Sprinkle salt, pepper and crushed red pepper across the top generously.

Cook for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.

Add Siracha hot sauce for an extra kick!

Directions for cooking it in a crock pot:

Spray the inside of the dish with cooking oil then it's the same as the original recipe, however, tater tots are not as crispy because of condensation on the lid. To have crispy tots, cook the dish on low for 2-3 hours and heat tater tots in oven, then add to top of casserole just before serving.
