To make The National burger sauce, combine the ketchup, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, A-1 sauce, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use. 

On a grill or a hot sauté pan, cook the patty until desired temperature and place the slice of cheese on the top of the patty until it melts.
