This chili should be more like a sauce, thin enough to spread easily but thick enough to stay where you put it. If you find that your sauce is too thin, you can try to add some more tomato paste to make it thicker. If you find the chili too thick, try adding more tomato sauce to thin it out. Another thing to remember is that you do not want your beef to be chunky, so be sure to break it up well at the beginning.
