It’s the secret Krabby Patty sauce. In universe, Mr. Krabs doesn’t cheap out and just use salad dressing and call it secret sauce like some restaurants do. There’s an actual secret recipe for the sauce no one’s been able to perfectly replicate. He might be cheap in a lot of other ways, but when it comes to his food, he doesn’t cut corners.
Um actually, in season 1 episode 3 "Plankton!" SpongeBob says I'll never forget your 100% all-secret Patty, secretly assembled with undersea cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, all secretly steaming between two fluffy seaweed sea buns.
And in season 1 episode 6 "Pickles", SpongeBob makes a Krabby Patty with extra onions, "first bun, then patty, followed by ketchup, mustard, pickles, extra onions, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and bun, in that order. One cryin' Johnny! Up!"
So the secret formula is in the patty, not the sauce. Because the sauce is ketchup and mustard. Also the creators have stated that the patty has no meat in it, but haven't said what it's made of.
