@SurferWife Wick Fowler's 2-Alarm Chili seasoning is almost as good as mine (which is basically this same thing). Spice and salt are in separate packages, add as much as you want but the basic recipe is fantastic!
It has real chili flavor, the amount of heat you can customize, and you add a little corn flour (masa) mixed with water at the end which adds a little body.
Maybe there is a "clone" recipe online--I don't know. Good luck!

@SurferWife I found this online and it seems pretty close to what I do. I add some diced tomatoes rather than just water, and DO NOT mix the masa in with the spices. It goes in last mixed with a little water.
Ingredients
05-16-2019 09:57 PM
2 lbs of ground beef or cubes or both
One packet / box of Wick Fowler's Chili kit.
So easy, so good. I substitute water for the tomato sauce because I grew up with chili without tomato.
And for crying out loud, no bell peppers or olives in chili.
I don't like beans in my chili either. "if you know beans about chili, you know there should be no beans in chili". source unknown

This is probably heresy to real chili buffs, but I use taco seasoning in my chili. I always have it on hand from the restaurant supply house and I don'tf goof up on seasoning amounts. There once was a chain restaurant where I used to live that overloaded everything with cumin. I couldn't get over that and now am afraid to use it. PS They went out of business.

Here is a recipe I found in the WaPo Food Section back in mid 60's. It became our family's favorite chili recipe, tried other recipes, always came back to this one although I play with the recipe as we all do. One child did not like beans, so he got chili without kidney beans; rest of family wanted kidney beans and put in chili pot last hour to take on the flavors. Recipe does not include beans, so it is an option.
Pedernales River Chili
Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson's recipe...
4 Pounds Chili Meat (Coarsely-Ground Round Steak or well-trimmed chuck)
1 Large Onion, Chopped
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Teaspoon Ground Oregano
1 Teaspoon Comino Seed
6 Teaspoons Chili Powder (or more, if needed)
1 1/2 Cups Canned Whole Tomatoes
2-6 Generous Dashes Liquid Hot Sauce
2 Cups Hot Water
Salt to Taste
Place meat, onion and garlic in large, heavy pan or dutch oven, cook until light in color. Add oregano, comino seed, chili powder, tomatoes, hot pepper sauce, salt and hot water.
Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 1 hour. Skim off fat during cooking.
PS: I cooked my chili longer than an hour to get it thick and flavorful.
