If you google "chili bean recipe from frugal gourmet" there are two videos on You Tube that come up with him preparing the recipe.

@Melzie   Thanks. You know I had a heck of a time getting any written recipe. I did find a video I found on YouTube but the subject was just chili, sort of introducing different types and kinds.  And he made a chile....but it was the bean,ess kind and not the one I needed .  I didn't see the other video. I will look

@shoekitty   We have the book entitled "the Frugal Gourmet". If your recipe is in this book let me know so I can post the recipe for you.  My husband loves to cook, he reaches for this one a lot - and we have MANY cookbooks.

@PINKdogWOOD    Thank you for that, but it was the cooks American one. I have that cookbook as well, but as I said they are packed away...so,ethereal. I need to find mine, because the 2 cookbooks are just real food, done well and fairly uncomplicated. I used his cookbooks all the time till I had kitchen redone 15 years ago... my husband stored them so,where in garage.. and they are not handy.

could it be this chili recipe?

its on FOOD.COM and it says....

TEXAS CHILI

"This is the chili I serve at my annual chili dinner. It's direct from "The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American." You'll probably want to cut back on the jalapenos, especially the first time you make the recipe. The author insists that "genuine" Texas chili is made without beans but you can add a can of kidney beans if you like."

*i sure wish we could post links!*

Shoekitty said, @sunshine45   I went to Food.com and quad in TEXAS CHILI and at least 15 recipes came up, none saying by frugal gourmet.  I am curious.

Hank you so much for the info. I appreciate it, and @Nightowlz   Thank you this is it,  I remember I didn't use pork or beef we used ground chicken thigh, I grind it myself course ground in my kitchenaid stand mixer attachment.  I also cut recipe a bit as this is a tub full, lol! This chili has so much depth, I think it is the cocoa...not sure but the color and flavor is wonderful. I am going to try this next week. Thank you thank you!

Happy to help. Glad it was what you were looking for.

DH uses grass fed hamburger with top sirloin steak in the chili he makes. It also has cocoa powder in it.

I'm sure he will make some if it ever gets cold here? It's still summer here with 93° for a high today?

@Nightowlz    We don't meat, but we do eat chicken once in a while. I grind the organic chicken thighs, skinned for the meat.  It is quite juicy. Cooks more like beef than turkey or white meat chicken. There is something about adding the cocoa that really makes the chili. It deepens the flavor and also adds that gorgeous color.  The other thing about this recipe I remember Jeff Smittph doing on his show , was toasting the whole cumino seeds in a pan or oven. And adding them whole to chili.  The difference between the powdered cumin and the seeds is night n day!

My SIL makes a white chicken chili.

DH uses cumin in his chili but he doesn't toast it first. He really likes the cumin. He make like it better toasted.
