Not necessary but if you want to brown the pork chops 1st then do so with the butter. (I did to add a bit of color.) Add pork chops to slow cooker.
Mix soup and ranch dressing mix together then pour on top of pork chops.
Cook with lid on (no tea towel).
High 3-4 hours; or low 5-6 hours (WestBend 6 quart) which is almost 6 L for those of you outside the USA
Serve over rice.
(I doubled the recipe by adding 4 pork chops, then 1/2 of soup mixture, 4 more pork chops and the balance of the soup mixture. They turned out fine layered.)
Weight Watchers approximately 8 Points Plus per serving depending on the size of your pork chop.
