Instead of turning a meatloaf into a red-centered burger-loaf, why not turn a burger into a tender, juicy meatloaf patty? You get the inimitable meatloaf flavors of beef laced with ketchup and onion but in a far more delectable form. Simply broil the burgers until they are just past purple on the inside, and seared mahogany brown on the outside. This takes about five minutes - 55 minutes less than a traditional meatloaf. Put the patties on a potato bun and bite in. The meat is juicy enough to soak the roll, and is flavored in that meatloaf manner - brawny yet barely sweet, porky from the bacon, aromatic with herbs, onion and garlic, all commingled with a deep, beefy flavor. Excellent!

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Position oven rack 4 inches from heat. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the meat, onion, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix in half the ketchup mixture, reserving other half as a glaze.
- Form meat mixture into six equal patties, about 1 1/4 inches thick. Transfer patties to a baking sheet. Brush each patty with glaze.
- For rare burgers, broil for 1 minute, then add bacon slices to tops of patties and continue broiling until bacon is browned and meat is cooked as desired, about 4 minutes longer. For medium, add bacon after 2 minutes of broiling, and for well-done, after 3 minutes. Serve with buns and trimmings if desired.
