Make the Crab Cakes
In a bowl, gently mix the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper until combined. Form the mixture into patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Burger Patties
In the same skillet, cook the ground beef into two patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Add a slice of American cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Ultimate Tailgate
Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, a crab cake, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of aioli. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
