Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed hominy, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced black olives, sour cream, and softened cream cheese.
Add the chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out in an even layer.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, panko bread crumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions, if desired, and enjoy!
