You don't want to use dried beans in chili. If you must include them cook them first independently and measure them out. The cooking time for beans is longer than for chili, and it's best to boil beans for at least half an hour before simmering them so you get rid of the esters that cause cramping in some folks. This doesn't work for chili. I don't cook chili with beans, because they introduce off flavors in the chili, and because with beans it's not chili, it's chili stew.
