The eggs are the binding ingredient in the recipe. Without the eggs you may just have meat mush. Hope everything works out!

EGGLESS MEATLOAF. This recipe hails from World War II-era Poland when eggs were in very short supply. Today it may be a boon to weight- and cholesterol-watchers. In a large bowl, mix 3/4 c. plain dry bread crumbs and 3/4 c. skim milk or water. Add 1-1/2 lb ground pork, veal or the pork-veal-beef meatloaf mixture available in many supermarkets. Add 1 - 2 grated onions and 1 medium-sized peeled, grated, raw potato. (The grated potato replaces the egg as a binder.) Mix well by hand until thoroughly blended. Season to taste with salt, pepper, a pinch of marjoram and (optional) 1 crushed bud garlic or a dash of garlic powder. Mix well, shape into a loaf and place at the center of a cakepan greased with oil. (Polish meatloaf is not normally made in a loafpan!) Add 1 c. water to pan and bake about 1 hr in pre-heated 350° oven.

You really should use the eggs, it helps keep the meat together.
Here's an easy recipe that I like.
Ingredient:
2 pounds ground beef
1 package STOVE TOP stuffing mix for pork
1 cup water
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix ingredients and only 1/4 cup barbecue sauce.
Place meat mixture into a regular size bread pan. Top with the remaining 1/4cup barbecue sauce.
Bake 30min. or until cooked through. Let cool about 15 minutes before cutting. Cut loaf into indivual slices. Should serve 6.

Eggs are the binding agent in meatloaf but if you are out, you can make the meatloaf and it will turn out just fine.

I don't always use eggs in my meatloaf - you you'll be OK.
If you're worried about it binding together, try a few pieces of torn up sandwich bread soaked in milk till it's really soggy. Then mix with your meat and spices.

You can try some cracker crumbs. About 1/2c for every pound of beef.

It would taste fine, but it won't really be a "loaf" beacuase the eggs are what make it hold it's shape and stay together.
