How to Make the Applebee’s Clubhouse Grille at Home

I don’t know about you, but I enjoy an afternoon out at Applebee’s.  The thing is, the nearest location is about 20 minutes away.  Not such a long time, but on a busy day, I just can’t squeeze that in.  I will probably eat lunch at my desk, so I will be able to fit in some more chores or playtime with my daughter.  Lucky for me, some of the sandwiches such as this Clubhouse Grill can be replicated at home without too much trouble.

What’s In It

Since it’s a sandwich, this is one of the easiest copycat recipes I’ve made recently. There are a few basic ingredients:

• Texas toast
• Mayonaisse
• Cheddar cheese
• Jack cheese
• Ham
• Turkey breast
• Applewood smoked bacon
• Tomato
• BBQ sauce
• Lettuce

What Type of BBQ Sauce is on the Clubhouse Grille?

Right on their website, it says they use honey BBQ sauce. You can certainly use any type you like, that’s the fun part about cooking. But if you want it to taste authentic, use a sweeter BBQ sauce.

Do you use a panini press?

To keep it looking and tasting like the real thing, don’t use a panini press. Applebee’s toasts their bread and then uses the toast on the sandwich. Everything looks and feels like a regular sandwich – it isn’t smooshed together like a panini press.

What to Serve with the Clubhouse Grille Sandwich

Since it is so easy to make, you can serve it with your lunch favorites. How about some homemade kettle chips? Or you can serve a healthy cucumber tomato feta salad with it.
