Cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, and add beef to bacon drippings. Cook the beef until browned; drain if there is a lot of excess fat. Put the chilies chipotles in a blender with a little of the broth, and blend until smooth. Add this to the pot with the beef, and add the rest of the broth and the bay leaves. Cook until beef is tender--half an hour to an hour (or all day in the crock pot). Toward the end of the process, add the beans and salt and pepper. When ready to serve, top with the bacon, cilantro, and green onions. Serve the chilis and lime on the side. WE eat it with sour cream and tortilla chips. (For a chunkier chili, you can drain the pinto beans. If you don't drain them, you'll have a soupier chili.)
