Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add 1 lb of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons of garlic powder, mixing well.

Prepare an aluminum pan by spreading a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.

Use lasagna pasta sheets cut into 4x4 squares, softening them in water.

Place ground beef and shredded mozzarella cheese on each pasta square, then roll them up tightly.

Arrange the rolled cannelloni in the pan on top of the marinara sauce.

Cover the cannelloni with more marinara sauce, ensuring they are completely covered.

Drizzle with cream sauce made from flour, butter, milk, and cream.

Top with additional shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes until hot and bubbly.
