  I lost my favorite recipe for bacon and horseradish dip. It was 
  printed on the Fritos corn chip packages for many years (60s) 
  but has not been on the package for a long time.  I called 
  Frito-Lay customer service but they hadno idea what I was talking 
  about (that is how old it is).

  Ingredients (with estimated quantities) included:

  cream cheese 3 oz
  milk ?  ?
  mayonnaise  1 Tbs
  onion   ? (crushed to juice)
  bacon   3 slices (fried crumbled)
  lemon juice ? ?

  Ingredients with a ? may not have been in the recipe.

Hello Michael,

I could not find a recipe that admitted coming from a Fritos bag.

90% of the recipes for this that I found contained the same ingredients (see the first recipe below):
bacon or bacon bits, mayonnaise, sour cream, and horseradish. the other 10% had these same ingredients plus a little onion or parsely or other spices(See the second recipe below). The only one that I could find with cream cheese was the third one below.

  What a great site! Perhaps you can help me.  For years I've been making 
  a recipe every Thanksgiving for yeast bran rolls, but I seem to have 
  lost the recipe.  I originally got it out of a cooking magazine, either 
  Gourmet or Bon Appetit, probably at least a decade ago.  It was one of 
  the recipes sent in by a reader, not a featured recipe.  I have looked 
  on epicurious unsuccessfully.  This year I tried one of the recipes I 
  found on the net, which seemed to have basically the same ingredients 
  (yeast, all bran cereal, sugar, shortening), but it just wasn't the 
  same-not nearly as moist as the original. My family will be shattered, 
  maybe you can help me restore my reputation.

  Thanks so much and happy Thanksgiving

Hi Susan,

Well, I cannot locate a recipe that admits to being from "Gourmet" or "Bon Appetit". All of the recipes that I can find are pretty much the same as the ones below.

Phaed

   Ingredients : 
   1 c. shortening
   1 c. all bran cereal
   1 c. boiling water

   2 beaten eggs
   6 c. flour
   Melted butter or margarine

   Preparation : 
      Dissolve 2 packages yeast in 1 cup lukewarm water.  Add to first
   5 ingredients when cool.  Beat with mixer 2 eggs and 2 cups of flour
   until light.  Gradually add 4 cups flour and mix thoroughly.  Put in
   refrigerator until ready to use. Roll dough out to 1/4" thickness. 
   Cut with orange juice can and dip into melted butter.  Fold each
   circle in half as you lay them in pan.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15
   to 20 minutes.

   1/2 c. sugar
   2 pkg. dry yeast
   1 c. lukewarm water
   1 c. boiling water
   Dash of salt
   2 eggs
   5 to 5 1/2 cups flour

   Preparation : 
     Mix All Bran, shortening, sugar, salt, and boiling water. 
   Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water; add to bran mixture.  Beat in
   eggs, add flour, mix well and knead.  Shape into desired sizes and
   place in greased pans.  Let rise for two hours.  Bake in 400 degrees
   preheated oven until brown.  
  ----------------------------------
  Refrigerator  Bran  Rolls

   Ingredients : 
   1 c. shortening
   3/4 c. sugar
   1 1/2 - 2 tsp. salt
   1 c. water, boiling
   1 c. bran or bran cereal
   1 c. 105-115 degree water
   2 pkgs. active dry yeast
   2 well beaten eggs
   6 c. sifted all-purpose flour

   Preparation : 
      In large mixing bowl, combine shortening, sugar and salt.  Pour
   boiling water over these ingredients and stir until shortening is
   melted.  In small bowl combine warm water and yeast; let stand 3-5
   minutes.  When first mixture is lukewarm, add well beaten eggs and
   the dissolved yeast.  Add the flour (small amounts at a time, if you
   prefer) and beat well.  To refrigerate:  Place the rolled dough in a
   greased bowl, turning so that the entire surface is evenly coated. 
   Cover closely with waxed paper or foil, and weight down with a
   plate.  After removal from refrigeration, allow dough to rest,
   covered, 30 minutes.  Punch down, knead lightly.  Shape into any
   traditional shapes, allow dough to double in size.  (Will take
   longer because dough will still be chilled.)  Bake in preheated 450
   degree oven about 15 minutes.  About 48 - 2 inch rolls.

  White Bean And Collard Green Soup 
  Yield: 1

  Ingredients 

        1 tb olive oil; up to 2
        2 c  chopped onions
        1    bay leaf
        2    stalks celery; minced
        2    medium-sized carrots; diced
        2 ts salt; (or more, to taste)
        6 c  stock or water
        3 c  cooked white beans; up to 4
        3 tb minced fresh garlic
    1 1/2 lb collard greens; stemmed and 
             -chopped
        1    freshly ground black pepper 
             -to taste
    
    ----------------------------Toppings----------------------------------
        1    freshly-grated nutmeg
        1    finely minced fresh parsley
        1    parmesan cheese

  Instructions

  Preparation time: 45 minutes to prepare (most of it simmering time) 
  Yield: 4 to 6 servings

  Beans: Use any kind of white beans: the smaller navy beans, 
  the medium-sized Great Northern, or the large cannelini. If you're 
  using canned beans, use 2 cans.

  Greens: The recipe calls for collard greens, but you can also
  use escarole or spinach--or a combination.

  1.Heat the oil in a kettle or Dutch oven, add the onion, bay leaf, 
  celery, carrots, and salt. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, 
  then add stock or water. Cover, bring to a boil, then lower heat to 
  a simmer.Cook quietly for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables 
  are tender.
  2.Add the beans, garlic, and as much of the collard greens as you 
  can fit, cover and wait a few minutes for the greens to cook down. 
  Keep adding greens in batches, waiting between additions for them 
  to cook down, which they ultimately will.
  3.Add black pepper to taste, and adjust the salt. Serve hot, topped 
  with a grating or two of fresh nutmeg, a little parsley, and a 
  generous spoonful of parmesan cheese.

   1 1/2 lbs. dried great northern beans
   1 ham bone or ham hock
   2 pkgs. frozen collard greens
   2 med. onions
   1/2 lb. white bacon (salt pork)

   Pinch of saffron

   -----------------------------------------
  Golden Potato And Collard Green Soup

  (Serves 6)

  1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  4 cups chopped onions (about 2 large or 3 medium onions)
  1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
  1/2 cup chopped celery (about 2 ribs)
  1 large carrot, diced
  31/2-4 cups water
  2 Tablespoons cashew butter
  2 Tablespoons tamari or shoyu
  1 bunch collard greens
  1 teaspoon brown rice vinegar
  Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

  Heat oil in a 3-quart pot. Add the onions and salt. Cover and 
  simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions cook 
  down to a nice mush (about 15-20 minutes). Add potatoes, celery, 
  carrot, and water to the onion mush; cover and simmer until 
  potatoes are soft (about 15-20 minutes). Put soup mixture into a 
  blender with the cashew butter and tamari. Blend until smooth. Run 
  the soup through a strainer to remove celery strings. Return soup 
  to pot. Remove thick stems from the collard leaves by pulling leaf 
  off with one hand while holding onto the stem with the other. Fill 
  your sink with cold water and submerge the collard leaves. If the 
  water has sediment, drain the sink and repeat. Bring 2 quarts of 
  water to a boil. Submerge leaves. Remove a piece and test every 
  minute or so. You are looking for a slightly wilted leaf that still 
  has a bright green color and (most important) a succulent, sweet 
  flavor. Pour cooked greens into a colander in the sink. When you can 
  handle them, squeeze out excess water with your hands. Clip into 
  bite-sized pieces or thin strips and stir into soup. Add vinegar. 
  Taste soup, and adjust salt and pepper. Gently heat before serving.
  -------------------------------------
  Collard Green Soup

  Ingredients:

  Fresh collard greens, chopped.
  Teaspoon dark olive oil (the darker the more flavor)
  Tiny quantity of penne pasta (about 8 little tubes)---you can
  substitute rotelli or shells sprinkle of parmesan cheese
  (optional)
  Salt to taste

  Boil the greens in plenty of water (about 8 cups) until tender.
  (This is a soup). Cook the 8 little penne pastas separately until
  done.

  Serve greens with plenty of broth in deep soup bowl. Drizzle
  teaspoon (more if you like) of olive oil over greens. Add salt.
  Stir. Top with cooked pasta and sprinkle a very small quantity
  of parmesan (optional) over it all.
  -------------------------------
  Green Soup (Caldo Verde)

  Ingredients

  8 potatoes, pared and cubed
  1 lb Portuguese sausage
  6 cups water
  Salt to taste
  2 tablespoons olive oil

  bring to a boil; cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are
  tender. Remove sausage and slice; set aside. Mash potatoes in the
  liquid. Add salt, olive oil, collard greens, and sausage.
  Continue to cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Makes 6 to 8
  servings.

Hi Doug,

The alternate name of the TV show was "Challenge of the Yukon", and the theme song was also called" Challenge of the Yukon", but it was actually an arrangement of the 1894 "Donna Diana Overture" by a rather obscure Austrian classical composer named Emil Von Reznicek, from his opera of the same name.
