Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix well using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. If you’re using hot sauce, add it now. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, with the edges slightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Whiz Bang Dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
