Kroger sells the spice powder and it’s always been fine for me (I spent a number of years working for Skyline in every position except salaried management (though I was trained on and did their jobs as well)). It has you adding tomato paste, water, and ground meat. You could just do something other than the meat at that stage. Anything providing umami and fat would probably work fine.
I’m a vegetarian these days, but the best chili is a five way. Gotta find a decent meatless skyline recipe
