In a saucepan melt the butter and saute the garlic, onion & celery approximately 4 minutes.

Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf.
Let the mixture cool and add bread crumbs.
Place in pie crust and put top crust on sealing the edges by fluting the crusts together.
Cut an X in the center of the top crust.
