I have had this recipe in my family collection many years now. I first tried it because I thought it would be nice to have something different for dinner. I liked it as my kids were young,and because it holds together well, it was neater to eat for kids and adults. It has always been a hit for family and casual company dinners, or Sunday afternoon lunch. Because it makes a unique presentation, I am often asked for the recipe. You can use jarred spaghetti sauce, or your own favorite. Hope you enjoy!

    Meanwhile, in a large skillet brown beef; drain, and add celery; steam a bit to tenderize. Add spaghetti sauce and mushrooms. Simmer 15 minutes to meld flavors, and reduce liquid a bit. Have sauce ready and sitting off of heat to cool a little while preparing 'crust' for pie.
