In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add the mayonnaise and seasoning, then mix until well combined.
8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, Salt and pepper
Gently fold in the drained corn, about ¾ of the shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and diced red bell peppers into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
15 ounces canned corn kernels, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup diced green onions, ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
Spread the corn and cream cheese mixture into the bottom of a greased casserole dish in an even layer. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbly.
Carefully remove from the oven and garnish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions if desired.
¼ cup diced green onions
Allow the dip to cool for a few minutes before serving with corn or tortilla chips.

Notes
For best results you will need to use fully softened cream cheese, if you are in a hurry you can soften it in the microwave in 15-second increments.
You need to use regular cream cheese, the cream cheese in the tub will be too runny for this recipe.
