1 can tomato sauce

1 tablespoon Italian spice

Several slices of garlic bread

Add the tomatoes and sauce. 

In a separate brown the ground sirloin. When the beef is fully browned add to the sauce. Add the spice and celery leaves. Simmer for atleast an hour.

When sauce is ready, grill garlic bread until toasted. Spoon meat sauce on bread and enjoy.
