Copycat Denny's Club Sandwich Archives

This is ALMOST a copycat version of Denny’s club sandwich. I had to add a slight twist. After enjoying a copycat of Applebee’s Clubhouse Grille sandwich, which has BBQ sauce slathered on the bread, I just had to do the same with this club sandwich. Otherwise, yeah, it’s a spot-on fantastic copycat of the classic. So don’t hate me that it’s “almost” a copycat. It’s darned close.

I love the tang of the BBQ sauce. I used a hickory-smoked flavored sauce, which I think is the perfect sauce for this sandwich. What? You never thought of putting BBQ sauce on a club sandwich? Me either. But I’ve changed since I did. I’m much happier now. Club sandwiches need that little ‘twist’. You’ve been having the same sandwiches for years and years now. Make a simple change that has a huge impact on the flavor!

This Is The Perfect Club Sandwich

Now, if BBQ sauce isn’t your thing, substituting Sriracha instead would make for a totally different (and yummy spicy) copycat Denny’s Club sandwich. In fact, that’s a great idea. I am going to make my next club sandwich with Sriracha on it instead! I’m glad I thought of it! Again, it’s not a ‘copycat’ exactly, but darned close!

I like to keep some pre-cooked bacon on-hand for sandwiches like these. I grab a few packs at the store and bake them up. It’s super-easy to do. After they’ve cooled off I wrap them in paper towels and put them into a container that goes into the freezer. When it’s time to use them, I just pull out whatever I need, wrap it in a paper towel, and microwave it for about 10 seconds. Boom! Great crispy home-cooked bacon!

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.
