1. **Preheat the oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. **Combine the ingredients:** In a mixing bowl, combine the Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained Mexicorn, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. **Transfer to the baking dish:** Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish or skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
4. **Bake until bubbly:** Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges, and the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
5. **Garnish and serve:** Remove the Mexicorn Rotel Dip from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot alongside tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.
