I don't make meatloaf. I sometimes (rarely) eat meatloaf. Both versions that I
remember actually liking had egg in them. 1 had bread/cracker crumbs, the other
did not. I am unsure what the meat mix was.

      Title: Egg And Spinach Casserole
 Categories: Latino, Eggs, Casseroles, Breads
      Yield: 8 Servings

           Oil 
      6    (6"-7") Corn tortillas
      2 sl Bacon
    1/4 c  Onion; chopped
      1 cl Garlic; Fine chopped 
      2 tb Butter 
      1 tb Oil 
      2 c  Tomatoes; chopped
      1 ts Salt 
    1/2 ts Pepper 
    1/4 ts Nutmeg; ground 
      1 lb Fresh spinach; chopped 
      8 lg Hard cooked eggs; peeled 
      1 c  Basic Green Sauce  
      4 oz Cheese; shredded * 

  * Use either Monterey Jack or Chihuahua cheese in this recipe.
  
  Heat the oven to 400øF. Heat 1/8" of vegetable oil in an
  8" skillet over medium heat, just until hot. Cook the
  tortillas, one at a time, in the oil until crisp, about 1
  minute. Drain on paper towels and then cut them into small
  pieces. (NOTE: You could use tortilla chips where they are
  available.)

  Cook and stir the bacon, onion, and garlic in the butter
  and 1 tb of oil, in a 10" skillet until the onion is tender.
  Stir in the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer
  uncovered for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the
  spinach, cover and cook until the spinach is wilted, about
  3 minutes.

  Line the bottom of an ungreased square 8" X 8" X 2" pan
  with the tortilla chips or pieces. Spread the spinach mix
  over them. Cut the eggs lengthwise into halves and arrange
  them on the spinach mixture. Pour the Basic Green Sauce
  over the eggs; sprinkle with the cheese and bake, uncovered
  until the cheese is melted, abut 15 minutes.
