Assignment: UGA Dinner Party
The story: Student Karlee Baumann's ritual Family Night was birthed one night last fall as she and three friends chatted about their intense food cravings while watching TV. A Chili’s commercial prompted a profound discussion of their shared longing for the home-cooked food and emotional intimacy of the stereotypical family meal. They lamented how last-minute plans, hectic schedules and tight budgets so often lead to unhealthy, frenzied feeding fits.
So they formed their very own collegiate Family Night. Their original family of five grew to as many as 16 girls at one dinner. "Through our family dinners, I now truly have the sisters I always longed for, simply because we decided to set aside the time to eat together twice a month," Baumann writes.
These sloppy Joes are easy to make and fun to eat.

2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
8 large hamburger buns
Instructions:
In a large stock pot, crumble and brown the ground beef. Drain. Add the green pepper and onion and sauté about 5 minutes. Add the tomato soup, vinegar, brown sugar and chili powder. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce. If the mixture looks a little too runny to serve over the buns, simmer it uncovered for a few minutes until it thickens a little.
