Late fifties and sixties IIRC. I've only made it once as our SIL
professes to like it so made him a batch at Thanksgiving one year. He
ate most of it but we tend to like our green beans as green beans, no
frou frou. Campbell's and French's onions have ads in every cooking or
women's magazine touting the stuff. May have become popular through the
power of suggestion or they've got subliminal signals in the ads.
