When the tomatoes are ripe on the vine and you have more than you can handle, I put them in the freezer. I do skin them and freeze them in freezer bags. When hamburger goes on sale, I cook up a bunch of burger and take out my tomatoes and make a large pot of sauce. I put my basic spices in it and can it.
So when I have a night that I do not feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen, I get a can of sauce off the shelf and add spices for what I am making for a quick meal. I have also canned my sauces without the meat.

You do not need to peel your tomatoes just wipe off and freeze when you want to use them the peel comes off and floats easy to pick off then, or run under hot water it falls off.
