    1 pkg cream cheese, 4 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Add cream cheese mixture and 1 cup shredded cheese to the corn mixture and stir to combine. Pour into prepared baking dish, top with remaining shredded cheese and bake for 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

The size of the casserole dish will make a difference on the baking time. We use our Pyrex dish and it is large so our casserole is shallow. If your dish is smaller then the casserole might be thicker in the pan and you may need to leave it in the oven longer. 
Make sure to stir often when melting the cream cheese, butter, and milk together. Most of the cream cheese will melt but you will see small pieces and that is okay. It will finish melting in the oven.
I calculated the time to melt the butter and cream cheese in the preparation time and only the time it takes to bake the casserole in the cooking time.
