Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Gently fold in the smoked Gouda cheese and half of the crumbled bacon. Mix carefully with a spatula.

Stir in the chopped green onions until well incorporated.

Transfer the creamy mixture to a lightly greased 9-inch baking dish.

Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.
