Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover with lid slightly ajar, and simmer until beans are tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours (time will vary depending on freshness of beans). Season to taste with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. DO AHEAD: Chilli can be made up to 2 days ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled.
