Rock's Chili with Beans

I started out with no particular purpose,
just to brown up some ground beef
that was close to the last sale date.
Ended up with this great chili recipe.
Adding frozen sweet corn at the end is
what gives this chili it's great taste.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
2 small red peppers, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/3 pounds ground sirloin, 87/13
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 cup jarred mild salsa
1 (28 ounce)can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can white beans
1 tablespoon dried onions
1/2 cup frozen sweet corn
1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions:
In a soup pot on high heat,
add water and bring to a boil.
Add in onions, garlic and peppers.
Saute just until tender, about 8 minutes.
When all water has evaporated
and the pan is dry,
add olive oil and saute about
1 minute to get color on onions.
Add ground beef and stir to break up.
Saute until beef browns.
Add salt and seasonings to taste.
Lower heat to a simmer.
Add crushed tomatoes, salsa
and beans, stir to combine.
Cook uncovered for 1 hour.
Add dried onions and corn.
Add 1 tablespoon white sugar.
taste and adjust seasonings.
Use an immersion blender to
blend some of the chili to a
creamier consistancy if desired.
