PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT


This ain’t your average sausage. Our Texas Twinkie Sausage is a handcrafted, hardwood-smoked masterpiece packed with everything you love about Texas BBQ—bold flavor, real meat, and serious attitude.


We start with premium cuts of smoked brisket, cooked low and slow until they’re melt-in-your-mouth tender. Then we layer in roasted jalapeños for a smoky, punchy heat that doesn’t overpower—it balances. Next comes creamy, rich Oaxaca cheese that melts right into every bite, and finally, thick-cut bacon that wraps this whole thing in savory, salty perfection.


This sausage was born from the legendary Texas Twinkie—those stuffed jalapeños you find at the best BBQ joints—and we took that concept straight into sausage form. Its heat meets smoked meat. No fillers. No shortcuts. Just big flavor, real ingredients, and the kind of craftsmanship you’d expect from a pit boss.


Perfect for throwing on the grill, slicing for a sandwich, or serving at your next BBQ bash. Whether you're a backyard warrior, a tailgater, or just someone who appreciates meat done right, the Texas Twinkie Sausage delivers every time.
