Country Casseroles has become one of my favourite takeaways in Ballarat especially now that we're heading into winter. There is a huge variety of casseroles and side dishes. I've very much enjoyed the beef and veges, beef stroganoff and the chop suey. I always order a side of mashed potato, which complements any of the casseroles beautifully. They also have a yummy scalloped potato side dish and some salads. Plus, there are desserts, but I have not as yet tried these.

This is a way better option for dinner than run-of-the-mill fast food. There are regular to family-sized packages available.

The service is friendly and efficient and there is plenty of parking outside in Sturt Street or around the corner in Ascot Street.

Approximate cost: $13

Although the shop is quite small, it is very quaint and welcoming. The food looked to all taste great but the beef stroganoff that I ordered was incredibly delicious. The staff were really friendly and the prices were quite reasonable for good quality, home cooked type meals

Approximate cost: $30
