Saute the chopped white onions and diced green onions in bacon grease.

Cook the diced bacon until crispy and set aside.

In a bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: 4 eggs, 2 cans of drained corn, 2 cans of cream of corn, 1 stick of butter, 2 cups of sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Add the sautéed onions to the wet mixture and stir.

Season the mixture with onion powder, garlic powder, and jalapeno pepper (if desired).

In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cups of cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of sugar.

Mix the dry ingredients together and then combine with the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.

Add 1 cup of cheese to the batter and mix.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish with butter or oil.

Pour the batter into the casserole dish and bake for 40-50 minutes.

After 35 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and top with additional cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Return to the oven to finish baking until golden brown.

Let the casserole sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
