Can I make this meatloaf without the tomato sauce?

Question

https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Buffalo-Meatloaf-with-Spinach-and-Roasted-Baby-Potatoes-239814  I make this all the time. 1/2 cup of tomato sauce goes in the meat mixture. From a flavor standpoint, I don't know if I'd miss tomato, but from a texture standpoint, do you think it will be too dense? I have zero other tomato products in the house except about 1/4 of a squeeze tube of tomato paste (maybe a tablespoon or two).

You don't have any condiments that are tomato based?  Barbeque sauce, steak sauce, cocktail sauce?  Nothing?  I've used a bit of soda in hamburgers, you could try that in your meatloaf.  You don't have to have the tomato sauce on the top of your meatloaf.  Some people prefer a brown gravy with theirs.

You could add the tomato paste and maybe a little ketchup?, although the 'paste' is a more concentrated flavour, it would be less 'liquid'.
When I make meatloaf, I add an egg, a squirt of ketchup and maybe a little 
worcestershire sauce if I need more moisture added, although I don't use the 'traditional' milk soaked bread, I use breadcrumbs & a little  dried sage+onion stuffing mix [its got dried onion, herbs + rusk [which is like bread flakes] to bulk out the meat and add to the taste / texture.

Some cream of mushroom soup would be a good substitute.
