Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper; mix until well incorporated.

Gently fold in the shredded smoked Gouda and half of the crumbled bacon.

Chop the green onions and add them to the mixture, mixing well.

Scoop the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Top with the remaining crumbled bacon and a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

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

Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
