Melt some butter and add it to a bowl.

Pour in some milk and a little bit of all-purpose seasoning blend.

Use an electric mixer to mix the cream cheese, butter, and milk until combined.

Add 2 lb of frozen corn to the mixture (can be added frozen).

Stir in cooked and chopped bacon and half of the cheddar cheese (reserve the other half for topping).

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven until almost done, then remove from the oven.

Top the casserole with the reserved cheddar cheese and return to the oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
