Not at all. First, I take four frozen biscuits (brand doesn't matter so long as they are either buttermilk or 'southern-style') outta the freezer, preheat the oven to 350 (I think... whatever the biscuit package says), and throw the biscuits in there.
Next, I take half a tube of Purnell's Medium Whole Hog Sausage and bust it up with a wooden spoon in a skillet over high heat.
Once it's all brown and in smallish pieces, I add one cup of hot water and one cup of milk. Then, I turn the heat up to high and, when the liquid starts to boil, I stir in half a packet of Southeastern Mills Pepper Gravy mix. Once I've got the mix powder thoroughly stirred in, I turn the heat down to low and simmer the sausage gravy till the biscuits are done.
Once everything is done cooking, I split the biscuits, putting four halves on a plate, cover the biscuits with the gravy, and then liberally sprinkle the gravy with ground black pepper.
