I want to say it was around 1970 or 1971...and it was cheeseburger I think....

EDIT: According to this site:

HAMBURGER HELPER
The pasta and seasoning mix known as 'Hamburger Helper' was introduced in 1970 by General Mills. The product was created during a meat shortage, and was designed to help housewives stretch a pound of ground beef (hamburger) into a tasty family meal. It was an unqualified success and other versions, including Chicken Helper, were later introduced.


Here's another site with info:

In 1971, Hamburger Helper was the first dinner mix product to appear on grocers’ shelves. Now, 34 years later America’s trusted brand comes in 41 varieties, including its newest Hamburger Helper Microwave Singles selections – yet another mealtime innovation that delivers great flavor and time-saving kitchen prep at an affordable price. Think the first flavor was cheeseburger macaroni.

1970 first sold depending on brand-Betty Crocker or Swanson had brand too
In 1977, the Helping Hand was born. not sure of first favor!

I dont know my mom use to make it in the early 70s.Do people really eat that crap anymore?
