1 lb. American cheese
1 or 2 (8 oz.) pkg. Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1 c. pecans
1 clove garlic
Chili powder
Ritz crackers

Put American cheese and pecans through food chopper. Use garlic press for garlic. Mix cheese, pecans and garlic until well blended. Sprinkle waxed paper with chili powder. Form cheese into a ball and roll over chili powder until sufficiently covered to form crust-like covering. Wrap in waxed paper and chill. Slice and serve on Ritz crackers.
