A crock pot is a great and easy to use kitchen device that allows you to cook meals without really having to because it does all the work. Slow cooking your food allows you to do various errands without attending to it, however, you're still guaranteed great outcome just as long as you follow cooking instructions carefully.

Here are 7 gluten-free crock pot recipes you need to try:

Broccoli and cheese tend to go perfectly well together. So much so, that sometimes it's the only way that kids want to eat the vegetable. This recipe from Iowa Girl Eats transforms that comfort food into creamy, cheesy and gluten-free soup.

2.) Crock pot beef fajitas

This recipe from New Leaf Wellness will make you realize that beef and crock pot are best friends. Slow cooking beef tends to let it be more soft and packed with so much flavor. This recipe doesn't require too much liquid added which is great because the flavors get more concentrated and seep in better to the fajitas.

5.) Cranberry meatballs & cranberry BBQ sauce

Cranberries and meatballs, who knew? Thoughtful Cave Dad certainly did. The meatballs are made of ground turkey, Italian sausages, and veggies so it's a bit healthier than outright using pork.

6.) Roasted red pepper and tomato soup with swirly basil oil

If you want easy and comforting, try this recipe from What I Gather. According to the author, the soup is thick and chunky and the combination of red pepper and sun dried tomato tastes divine.

7.) Homemade dulce de leche
