Heat grill to medium heat.

Shape meat into 6 (1/2-inch-thick) patties. Grill 5 to 6 min. on each side or until done (160ºF).

Meanwhile, microwave VELVEETA and tomatoes in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 5 min. or until VELVEETA is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 3 min.

Place burgers on bottom halves of buns; top each with 2 Tbsp. VELVEETA sauce. Cover with lettuce, tomato slices and tops of buns. Refrigerate remaining VELVEETA sauce to use as desired. (See tip.)
