Welcome to Flavor Town – Lakewood Style

At Lakewood Meats, sausage-making is more than a process—it’s a legacy passed down for three generations. We believe in good food made the old-fashioned way: no shortcuts, no fillers—just quality meat, real ingredients, and bold flavor.

This guide walks you through our signature house-made sausage flavors, including fan favorites, pairing ideas, cooking tips, and how to order online from the comfort of your home.

🔥 Alabama Sausage (Pork)
Our #1 customer favorite – bold, smoky, and loaded with Southern spice. Amazing grilled and served with baked beans or cornbread.


🌶 Jalapeño Jack Sausage (Pork)
Spicy jalapeños meet creamy Monterey Jack cheese. Perfect for nachos, breakfast burritos, or your next BBQ.


🧀 Cheesy Cheddar Sausage (Pork)
Melty, savory, and satisfying. Try it with mac & cheese, sliders, or simply on a toasted bun with mustard.


🍍 Pineapple Sausage (Pork)

Sweet and smoky tropical flavors make this one a summer staple. Slice into kebabs or toss into rice bowls.


🧄 Garlic Sausage (Pork)

Simple. Classic. Flavor-packed. Sauté with veggies, mix into pasta, or pan-sear and serve with mustard.

 

🍏 Apple Sausage (Pork)

Delicately sweet with real apple chunks. Ideal for fall dinners or breakfast with eggs and pancakes.


🌶 Smoked Spanish Chorizo (Pork)

Rich, smoky, and seasoned with Spanish spices. Adds bold flavor to stews, paellas, or charcuterie boards.

Portuguese sausage with garlic, vinegar, and a little kick. Tastes amazing in soups or grilled sandwiches.


🌶 Andouille (Pork)

A Louisiana favorite – smoky, spicy, and bold. Great in gumbo, jambalaya, or rice dishes.

Blended meat with a delicate smoke flavor. Serve grilled with kraut on a pretzel bun.

 

🐄 Unsmoked Pork/Beef Bratwurst

Mild and tender with a clean finish. Ideal for home cooks who like to season their own way.
