Directions

  • Step one

    Shape meat evenly into 6 patties. Cook in large skillet over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until cooked through (160°F), turning occasionally.

  • Step two

    Meanwhile, combine undrained tomatoes and Velveeta in 1-1/2-quart microwavable dish; cover. Microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or just until Velveeta melts, stirring after 3 minutes. Remove from microwave; stir mixture until well blended.

  • Step three

    Top bottom halves of buns with lettuce and tomatoes; add burgers. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce over each. Cover with tops of buns. Serve with remaining sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
