2. Cook Okra: Cook the frozen okra according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain any excess liquid and set aside.

3. Blend Cottage Cheese Mixture: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, 4 tablespoons of butter, and flour. Blend until smooth to create a creamy mixture.

4. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the cottage cheese mixture into a large mixing bowl. Fold in the cooked okra, chopped onion, whole kernel corn, salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce to your desired level of spiciness. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

5. Assemble Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

6. Prepare Topping: In a separate pan, melt the remaining butter. Add the bread crumbs and cook until golden brown, stirring constantly. Once golden brown, remove from heat and mix in most of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving some for topping.

7. Top and Bake: Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled bacon (if using) over the top of the casserole mixture. Then, evenly distribute the buttery bread crumb and cheese mixture over the top.

8. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the mixture is set and the top is golden brown and crispy.

9. Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious Okra Supreme as a comforting side dish or a flavorful main course!
