Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, and milk until smooth.

Stir in the beaten eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

Gently fold in the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese, ensuring even distribution.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Top with crushed crackers or breadcrumbs for a crispy layer.

For extra cheesiness, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar on top (highly recommended!).

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the edges are bubbly and the top turns golden brown.

Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
