I have never been able to replicate it as an adult, I wish I had been attentive enough to ask her, but even in her old age, not even she would have remembered, not because of mental illness or mental defect, but she simply stopped making in after I moved out because she didn't have to do it anymore.
The beans and beef are obvious, but I think she simply bought some brand of pre-packaged chili mix. Boy do I wish I could remember, she made the best chili.
I think McCormick is a pretty prominent mix. Maybe try it and see if it does the trick?
